How Probation Revocation Works
If you commit a felony crime, you could receive probation instead of serving your entire sentence in jail. This means you might spend some time in jail and the rest of the time on probation. But if you break any of the rules of your probation, the district attorney could ask to cancel your probation.
What Happens If You Violate Your Probation
After a probation violation, an MTR is filed which leads to the issuance of an arrest warrant without prior notice. This scenario can be dangerous as it can result in getting arrested without any warning.
What’s A Motion To Revoke Probation?
What Happens At An MTR Hearing?
During an MTR hearing, the judge assesses the supposed violation(s). The State presents evidence to support the accusations. The defendant must plead either 'true' or 'not true' to the charges. Based on this, the judge sanctions the defendant or denies any such action and prolongs the probation. While avoiding revocation is preferable, being placed on probation typically entails stricter conditions and additional obligations.
How Can A Lawyer Help With Probation Violations?
When dealing with probation revocation, it is crucial to have a lawyer. They can explain to the court any minor violations and present clear and effective evidence to minimize or prevent severe punishment.
Understanding Probation Violations
It is important to be aware of the activities and behaviors that are prohibited during probation. Any violation can result in serious consequences, including extended probation, fines or imprisonment. Additionally, it is essential to understand the process of probation revocation and MTR hearings.
