Where do i find out the truth about waived supervision fees ?

"Can I have my cost of supervision waived" asked: I was convicted of a DUI in Pasco county Florida and immediately had my
probation transfered to Pinellas county where i live. The initial
probation officer i was assigned to told me that the he would waive the
cost of my supervision because i am on SSI disability. However the
second P.O. seems to know nothing about this practice. She has
requested proof of my Social Security Disability (which i gave to her
and she promptly lost) and has been putting off this question for the
last 3 months. What initially started off as a good re-pore with this
second P.O. has QUICKLY gone south. She now seems hell bent on making
my life more miserable (if that could be possible). How can i find out
without putting myself on the troublemakers list?
FloridaDUIPRO.com answered: Your best bet is to go back before the judge who imposed the sentence
and ask him/her to waive the cost of supervision. If the judge agrees,
get it in writing (a court order). That will clear up the problem.
