judges know that a lot (maybe most) defendants are always gonna violate their probation so, unless they're violent or some kind of threat, just give them the 1, 2, or 3 years of probation. then violate them for the full term of the original charge when they do fuck up, which is always longer than what they could have pled out for originally
