Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: missed court date and probation officer meeting

You know the answer as well as I do.

At some point you are going to have to turn yourself in and face the music, or else be a fugitive forever. The best way to do this is to go in to court at 8:00 AM with a lawyer. The second best way is to turn yourself in to the county jail or police at about 11 PM, but not too close to midnight, so you get an extra day's credit. Turn yourself in at some ritzy suburban police department on a Friday night and who knows, you might have the weekend in a relatively nice lockup compared to county.

Careful what you write over the internet, it's extremely traceable.

Running away is not going to serve you well in the long run, no pun intended. You need to arrange for voluntary surrender. Hire a lawyer to do it for you, including bail terms if possible.

Re: missed court date and probation officer meeting

"Handling it" means turning yourself into the court and going through the criminal defense process. Generally, people hire experienced counsel, instead of attempting 'brain surgery self-taught'. If you don't know how to do everything an attorney needs to do, then hire one that does. Feel free to contact me if serious about doing so.
