You are legally allowed to sit in/at the bar as long as it’s 51/49

Honestly, I think the county encourages their PO’s to try and purposely frick the violators so the county can continue to ring the cash register
That doesn’t make sense to me. People on probation typically don’t pay their fines or fees because they are poor and often irresponsible (criminal behavior). So the county/parish ends up spending money on incarceration and hearings. I’m sure most county workers would rather just be in their offices getting paid the same money to do less public work. They have more incentive to just look the other way when it comes to violations.
And I doubt buying drinks for someone on probation is a reimbursable expense?

Again, fair enough. But there is what is legal, and there is what is wise. Not necessarily the same thing.

Public intoxication. Not driving though. He also had to spend a weekend in county jail because he violated probation
C’mon? He was assigned a probation officer for public intoxication? Forget the transcripts, I want to see the restaurant’s CCTV, because I’m confident he was part of a wild evening.
If not, I bet the experience taught him ancillary life lessons. like, if your wife’s sister or best friend hits on you, it’s probably a trap.

How can it be entrapment if the person allegedly being entrapped has specific knowledge that the person on the other side of the equation is his fricking Parole Officer?

Is the term entrapment treated the same for probation violations regardless of violation being a crime or not while basically still doing time for a convicted crime as it is for entrapments dealing with a new and an actual crime (pre-arrest or pre-conviction)?
I can see scenarios based on the state’s specific law and on the specifically agreed upon conditions of his probation that he agreed to uphold to finish his sentence outside of the prison where this is held up. It seems like a dick move, but outside of being coerced to actually drink the alcohol I am not sure if being offered a drink erases his voluntary violation of his probation conditions of not actually drinking the alcohol. He is not being prosecuted and sentenced again for his convicted crime or even for a new crime. He stupidly and voluntarily violated his agreed upon conditions to be able to serve his sentence or the remaining part of his sentence for a convicted crime outside of the prison.

I bet some Bud Lite was involved in some way.

Complete lie. No PO would be given credit by a Judge for buying a drink for a person under their supervision. Complete conflict of interest and malfeasance.

I don’t believe that happened.

Smells like BS to me.
Most probation officers do not care to drink with people under supervision - ethical issues. Most don't care to spend money on foolishness. They also would not make themselves a part of the violation.
Not buying this tale.
