“When somebody is on probation or parole, do they give up all their rights? Do they retain some of their rights?”
Kirk Tarman– Criminal Defense Attorney – San Bernardino County, CA
“Well, it’s a good question. You give up a lot of your rights. It is interesting. Parole and probation are somewhat different from each other. Probation is, obviously, if you haven’t gone to state prison, now there’s actually community supervision. Where do you go to what we call now county prison? And then there’s, if you go to actually state prison, and that’s parole.
It’s interesting, recently there’s been a reduction in the amount of time most people will stay on probation. Generally speaking, it’s one year. Sometimes in certain felonies it’s gone to two years. You used to be three years, no matter what, five years sometimes. But those are the rarities. But of course, like all the other charges, DUI’s are the exception to that rule, it’s almost always three years of probation at a DUI. And misdemeanor. And even felonies.”

“Really, oh my gosh.”
Kirk Tarman– Criminal Defense Attorney – San Bernardino County, CA
“Interesting enough. You could probably get less time on a felony DUI than you could on a misdemeanor DUI. Weird stuff out there.”
