What happens if i violate probation?
The probation officer (PO) files a probation violation complaint, which must state the alleged violations (e.g., unexcused absences from class, positive UA, not keeping scheduled meetings with PO). You will be ordered to appear in court to admit or deny the violations. You have a right to a hearing to determine if you violated the terms of probation. The prosecution must only prove a violation by a preponderance of the evidence (a lower standard than beyond a reasonable doubt).
