Basicly i've been locked down on probation for some bullshit drug charges and i'm tired of sitting around waiting to get back out on the road, When I eventually get picked up by the cops(We all do eventually) will they have a way to identify me? What about giving a fake name? what CAN they really do about it? Also what about prints? If i stay out of texas(where my probation officer is) do you think i'll be fine? Fucking fuck I hate the law and it's fucked up way of fucking doing things, fuck. Fuck fuck. So can anybody shed some light on my situation? It would be GREATLY fucking appreciated.



fuck.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say, "YES, THEY CAN DEFINITELY IDENTIFY YOU."

As far as I know, if you don't have an ID they'll bring you in and keep you there until they find out who you are. Or, well, they can legally do that. Maybe they won't....? They probably will. Especially if your looks fit the description of perceived criminality.

You should definitely do what you want to do, but, if you leave the state you will be taking a big risk.

duh. yes they can identify you. you could give a fake name which might work, until they run it and a picture of somebody else comes up, and that would be another charge and would affect yer probation in a negative way. like scat said, if you have no ID in some cases its legal to be taken to the police station and printed, photographed etc etc. especially if you look like you dont belong in wherevercityusa. if you leave the state without contacting yer PO and then get arrested or taken into custody for whatever reason they will call yer PO and he/she will get a boner/lady boner because they live for shit like that, they will be more then happy to ship you back (or just jail you wherever you are) so he/she can file some paper work and tell a judge buddy that you fucked up, clearly cant be trusted, are a menace to society blahblahblah and ide assume youd do some jail time. and when you get out of the can, youll be right back on probation. imo probation is in alot of ways worse then doing a month or two in jail, its a real pain in the ass having to deal with the types of people who make a living off of being a dick to people.
long story short, i wouldnt leave the state unless you feel confident that you wont get arrested for a while.

If its only a misdemeanor and your out of your state you will be fine .just give your real name.probation never stopped me from traveling.heck I've done it w warrants.got my name run bunches of times.as long as I wasn't in the state and its a misdemeanor your fine.felonies on the other hand can be a bit trickier.hope this helps.....this is from personal experience....in fact I've never heard of someone having misdeameanor warrants or probation and being sent back to that county from another state after having their name run...nothing against any other posts up here...and I get the whole "doing the right thing"but I'd like to know if that's their personal experiences of traveling on misdemeanor probation.

Not trying to be a dick and undermine what you said but I had a friend get extradited over a misdemeanor from 6 states away and it was not a violent or drug offense so its very situational and it depends on how bad they want you.

Fuck that, you should be a dick and undermine people who are spewing bullshit that could lead to someone getting into more trouble with the law.

Like everything, this is a risk. If you think the consequences of being caught are worse the the benefits of travelling, don't do it. If you are willing to face more probation and probably jail in order to travel, do it.

Go to some rural places in Texas, like Marfa or something. Explore the state - it's a big fucking place.

But, you're also 18 years old, and, 18 year olds are allowed to make bad decisions socially. There may be, however, legal consequences.

So, in conclusion, use your fucking brain to make a decision.

i was on juvinel probation/house arrest in pa (no felonies just misdameanors) cut my ankle moniter off and ran was livin under a fake name had a drop in i.d. and left the state since my prints were on paper and not in the machine i would spend nights in jail here and there all across the country on open contianer public drunkeness bullshit get realsed in the morning nothin ever came of it cuz i made up a none existing person and told them i was 20 when really i was 17 everything worked out fine then i turned 18 and since it was such stupid shit i was on probo for they just wiped my record clean. as far as adult probo as long as its a misdameaner u should be fine as long as it aint a commonwealth that is. just dont go back to the state yer on probo or any surronding states u should be fine and if u decide to give a fake name lets hope u get lucky like i did and its a none existing person then its up to the cop if he wants to take u in for printing... its live free or die tryin

I have been extridited on a warrant from as much as 650 miles away for something stupid (like I think it was shoplifting a bottle of tequila back when I was 18) and like 6.5 years later. Recently I tried to bounce out on probation and ended up in 2 year long programs with mandatory drug testing and 5 extra years probation. I really don't recommend playing around with it.

And if you are on probation they have your picture and finger prints....eventually they always know who you are

extradition matters on how rich the state/county/city youre in how bad they want you and how bad the charges are and how many states away you are and if you have any priors

161 Days, fuck me.... still sounds better than 5 years though.
Whoever decided that 1 years probation was a good punishment for having a plant in your possession deserves to be shot.

Good luck...quick question though, is it a formal probabtion where you have to check in with a PO etc or is it only a probation on paper?
