No arrest, no matter how seemingly small, is ever taken lightly by the arrestee. No time handcuffs are locked around your wrists, and your hands are shackled behind your back is an easy time for anyone. It is a frightening experience.
Many arrests are unjust.
Violations of probation are very common. You find yourself locked up without a bond, and it can be effected simply by a warrant of your probation officer signed by a judge. You can get a violation for failing to report to probation on a timely basis, failing to go to a drug test, or failing the drug test, failing to pay costs on time, or a new misdemeanor arrest for the slightest charge. I don't think that you should get placed in jail for smoking marijuana, but it is against the law, and people do go to jail for possession as well as delivery of pot. Many more go to jail for now growing it, and the law offices of Norm Kent handle many hydroponic and cultivation cases in state circuit and federal courts in South Florida and throughout the country.
