chapter 14-07.1, the court may waive this condition of probation if the defendant has
pled guilty to, or has been found guilty of, a misdemeanor or infraction offense, the
misdemeanor or infraction is the defendant's first offense, and the court has made a
specific finding on the record before imposition of a sentence or a probation that there
is good cause to waive the condition. The court may not waive this condition of
probation if the court places the defendant under the supervision and management of
the department of corrections and rehabilitation. The court may not prohibit the
defendant from possessing a firearm, destructive device, or other dangerous weapon
while on probation for any other misdemeanor offense or infraction. The court shall
provide as an explicit condition of probation that the defendant may not willfully
defraud a urine test administered as a condition of probation. Unless waived on the
record by the court, the court shall also provide as a condition of probation that the
defendant undergo various agreed-to community constraints and conditions as
