What is a violation of probation and what are the consequences?
You violate probation by not fulfilling all of the conditions set by the judge or the probation officer. Common examples of probation violations: failing to pay fines/costs; getting into further trouble; failing to obtain counseling or to complete the Alcohol Education Program; not reporting to the probation officer as directed. If you are charged with violating probation, you will be given a summons and required to appear before the judge, who may: revoke a continuance without a finding, impose jail time, allow you to stay on probation, impose further probation conditions, or find that you did not violate probation as charged.
