1. Community Service (40 hours at an animal shelter). This would be a good experience but you do not get to interact with the animals at all. They remove the animal, you clean the crap. Then do laundry, wash cages, do dishes, etc.

2. Probation (comes with a lot of terms)
a. no gun/ammo ownership OR transfer.
b. cant leave the county without 2 weeks notice AND permission(which may not be granted)
c. high risk insurance + hardship license so you can drive to work
d. random drug/alcohol tests (really just at your check ins)
e. home visits from your PO and you _must_ invite them in
f. no changing jobs without permission from PO
g. provide breath samples with no probably cause if asked by LE
h. submit evaluation of your education skills (a bachelors degree will eliminate this)
i. no alcohol in your house, and you are not allowed to consume alcohol for the year you are on probation. (kind of obvious)

3. The initial 2-3 days in jail you get with the arrest.
4. DWI Education course. This means you go to a 12 hour DWI education class. You _must_ pass the test, or repeat the class.
If you really make your PO angry.
5. 90 day outpatient treatment. This means you go to a class 2 days a week for 3 months.

If you think the attitude you get from LE is bad, you should see how a PO acts.
Hmmm....that is a lot of inconvenience. There is a simple solution to all of that nonsense. Don't drink and drive! :leaving
