[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 586761, member: 14557"] Maybe it is time to explain him some truths of life? Tell him, that he got himself onto probation and that means he will be a fair game for a long time. That the way criminals are treated often is not fair at all, but it is what it is. When you first got yourself into the trouble, you have very few rights left after that. And if you have a record or are suspected drug user, you will not be treated the same you and your husband and easy child and other middle class people are. Law enforcement will not have the same respect and protection to people with records or people they suspect to be drug users etc. that they have for your family and others in your community. Show him some of the harshest drug laws (I know you have a few) and tell that while people often may not be punished that harshly for smoking pot or something, but that is just luck. On the whim police and prosecutor and judge can come very hard down on them even though everyone else gets scot free from same type of things. And because you have broken the law and law gives that opportunity to them, you absolutely have no rights against it. I'm sure you can find even court cases there they have came down very hard on someone in smaller things because of this or that. It is not fair, but it is. And he has a choice between leaving himself prone to all kinds of arbitrariness by authority or keeping himself protected like you are. [/QUOTE]
