+xAs mentioned on another topic I am due to start my licence period soon, and have a couple more questions about the visits I will receive from PPU. Can these be at any time of day, like for instance 2am in the morning or do they normally occur within “working hours”? What happens if I am not there during that time, do they come back, is it recorded that I am not there, or will they contact me on say my mobile to see where I am? I don’t have any curfew times on my licence conditions, so I guess if I want to stay out all night I can, or will this cause issues? Actually, let me explain that one a bit better, say I am visiting my sister and I don't leave till 1.30/2.00am, does this count as not being at my place of residence, as obviously I will have an agreed address with probation that I reside at.... Having never been through this process before, this site and community seems to be the only source of information for these queries. TIA Hi One first thing I will mention is that remember Probation can set rules not included on any order. My sopo didn't have anything to do with times to be at home but when I registered the first time with them I was told I was to be at home between 7pm and 7am They decrease the hours ie 8pm to 7am then removed the order after so long. In regard to visits, the PO always booked times for me to go to their office so it was the same as booking work meetings. The OM in my first area would say a day and a time. However sometimes they would turn up later or earlier to try and catch you out. If I was not there they would question me. I simply informed them that I was not at home all the time but was/would be for the agreed time. My current area would turn up whenever. Sometimes they would call to see if I was home. However though I am still on the SOR but no other order, they told me a couple of years back there would be no more visits. I did ask why am I still on the SOR but couldn't get an answer lol Just remember if you know they are visiting be there, if you do not then just carry on with your life and dont feel guilty if they question why you was not there for an unplanned visit. remember you are entitled to a life though you have restrictions.
Society suggests I must let go of all my expectations but I disagree, as whilst I have a voice, I have hope.
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope is for tomorrow else what is left if you remove a mans hope.
