TYPES OF PROBATION TERMS
Misdemeanor probation is designed to hold people who violate the law accountable for their actions and rehabilitate people in an informal manner.
It is called “informal probation” since the person does not have to report to a probation 1 deposit casino uk.com officer and has no restrictions on travel.
Felony probation is called “formal probation” because it requires a person to be supervised regularly, includes drug and alcohol testing, searches of your home, and restricts a person’s ability to travel.
TERMS OF PROBATION
Probation is when a judge allows a person provisional freedom on the promise that he or she will demonstrate good behavior.
Probation can include time in county jail, community service, counseling, payment of a fine, attending programs, and remaining law abiding.
PROBATION VIOLATIONS
A probation violation may occur whenever you ignore, avoid, refuse or otherwise break any of the terms or conditions of your probation.
Probation violations could be:
- Committing another crime while on probation
- Not paying court-ordered fines or victim restitution
- Using a prohibited substance like alcohol or drugs
- Failing to complete a court ordered program, course of therapy, or counseling
- Associating with the wrong people
- Leaving the county without permission
If you violate your probation by committing another crime, then you may be ordered to jail for either the offense for which you are on probation, the new offense, or both.
Sometimes the punishment can be “concurrent” which means that while you serve time, or are punished, for one offense, you receive credit for the other offense.
