"The thing to remember about conditions of probation is that the alternative is jail."

Yeah, but they rarely find anyone in violation of probation since the jails are usually overcrowded already, and Parole Officers don't want to be bothered with the paperwork. They violated him specifically because of the film. It had nothing to do with the fact that he accessed the internet against the order of the court. I'd like to know how long he'd actually been accessing the internet prior to the time the White House blamed the movie for the attacks.

I should have specified that they rarely find anyone in violation of probation for committing a minor offense like using the internet, even if it is part of his probation. Had he been using the internet to commit the same defrauding activities that got him the original charges, now that’s a different story.

Not true..violation of probation is most often followed with jail time...in this case there can be no leeway becuase of the media surrounding it.
