If I accept a plea, what happens while Im on probation?
Typically, you will be ordered to pay all fines and costs, attend AA or a substance abuse counseling, refrain from drinking alcohol and from using any controlled substances, and you mustnt violate any other criminal laws. You will probably be required to regularly visit your probation officer, and some jurisdictions require frequent breath and urine samples. Probation on misdemeanor cases can last up to two years. If you violate any of the terms of probation, you are likely to receive additional sanctions, including jail.
