Does probation start from the date of arrest,or date you plead guilty?

Two out of five ain't bad, I guess.\n\nProbation is part of a sentence, so it starts when you are sentenced.  When it ends, is largely up to you.  Some folks seem to want to drag it on forever.

My son recently failed a drug test while on probation. It is his first violation of probation. He is in jail now and will be there for another 6 months waiting for a new public defender to be assigned to him and a hearing which is in Nov. The state is requesting he serve 20-30 months. Depending on what your crime was originally as well as the judge handling your case, will decide on what happens to you. If you were originally arrested for a drug crime, you will probably go to a drug rehab live-in facility. If your crime was not drug related, then you will probably serve time in jail. The length of time depends on the severity of the crime you were charged with and how many VOP's (violation of probations) you have had. My advise to you is to call your probation officer and inquire about going to a drug rehab. program and admit you have a problem. If you don't, he will just soon have you picked up anyways. It would look better for you to show you are wanting help of your own free will.

only way is to 'max out'your probtion.. that means you goto jail and do the time rather than be on probation... say your on 3 yrs probation, your jail timemay only be a few months, then if you get an early kick, your set... when you max out, your DONE with probation when released.... sometimes it worth it, i did and got 270 days, then got house arrest after 2 months...now if you go on house arrest ( electronic braclet) then you do full time, no good time...most jail when you get a sentance, as a rule you only do2/3s..

Ask your probation officer...\nDon't depend on answers in this medium for important information such as this.

no.  you if you plead not guilty to the ticket, then the ticket goes to the centralized infraction bureau to record the plea, then the prosecutor receives the ticket and schedules a date in which you will appear in court to contest the ticket.  Because of the backlog of the court system it is not unusual for it to take a few months to receive a response.

The answer is NO.  The fine is only part of the sentence; probation is another.\n\nIf he's still on probation and being charged with a felony offense, probation and paying off a fine are the least of his worries.\n\nIf this is a boyfriend, cut your losses now and get out of there.

Depends on the crime and conviction...\n\nI. - Arrests not resulting in conviction: \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\na. - (1) If you have arrest records that did not result in conviction, i.e. - charges dismissed, found not guilty, etc., you can apply to the Court for expungement as soon as the charges are formally disposed of by the Court handling the criminal matter.\n\n    - (2) If your charges were dismissed because you entered a supervisory treatment program or diversionary program (conditional discharge, [PTI]pre-trial intervention) where you were not required to plead guilty, you must wait until 6 months after the Court handling the criminal charges ordered your charges dismissed. (The Court usually orders them dismissed after you successfully complete your supervisory or diversionary program). AND\n\nb. - You must not have any disorderly persons, petty disorderly persons, or criminal charges, pending against you at the time your expungement petition is submitted.\n\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n  II - Municipal Ordinance Violations \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\na. - If you were convicted of a Municipal ordinance violation, you must wait until 2 years from the date of your conviction, payment of fine, satisfactory completion of probation or release from incarceration, whichever is the latest date, before you may petition the Court for expungement; AND\n\nb. - You must not have any disorderly persons, petty disorderly persons, or criminal charges, pending against you at the time your expungement petition is submitted; AND\n\nc. - You must have less than three disorderly or petty disorderly persons convictions and can not have any indictable convictions, (even if previously expunged) at any time, in any state/federal system.*\n\n* - There may be some room to argue that one is entitled to expunge an unlimited number of Municipal Ordinance convictions. If your case falls into the narrow class of those consisting of many Municipal Ordinance convictions, call Dan Kelley for a free consult to discuss the details of your specific situation. \n\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n  III - Disorderly Persons and Petty Disorderly Persons Arrests/Convictions \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\na. - If you were convicted of a disorderly or petty disorderly persons offense, you must wait until 5 years from the date of your conviction, payment of fine, satisfactory completion of probation or release from incarceration, whichever is the latest date, before you may petition the Court for expungement; AND\n\nb. - You must not have any disorderly persons, petty disorderly persons, or criminal charges, pending against you at the time your expungement petition is submitted; AND\n\nc. - You must have less than four disorderly or petty disorderly persons convictions and may not have any indictable convictions, at any time, in any state/federal system. (If you do have an indictable conviction, however, it may be subject to expungement even though it precludes your DP exungement.)AND\n\nd. - You cannot have ever been granted the dismissal of charges through participation in [PTI]pre-trial intervention; AND\n\ne. - You cannot have ever been granted an expungement, sealing of records, or similar relief in any State or Federal Court with respect to a criminal/felony charge. \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n  IV - Indictable Offenses Arrests/Convictions (Crimes/Superior Court) \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\na. - If you were convicted of an indictable offense and it is not excluded from expungement by state law, (see FAQs) you must wait until 10 years from the date of

Yes.  One is usually charged with an infraction BEFORE appearing in Court on said offense.   To be honest, if it is a petty crime, then you may luck out, depending on your level of probation.  If you must report weekly, drug test, etc...then I'd tell my PO.  If you are on unsupervised probation, then you may get away with it.  I am a paralegal and thus, can NOT give legal advice, but these are the option I see.

depends on why they are filing a motion to revoke. Chance are if this is your first time on probation then they will restart your probation.

Chances are very good if he's already on probation.  It's up to the individual judge, but most cases I've heard of like this did get jail time.

Probation is given to those who are convicted of a non-felony crime. If they are convicted or a felony, but are lucky enough to be granted county time, the get what is called "felony probation". If they break the rules and conditions of their probation then they go to prison and not to county jail.\n\nA person is on probation, when they do not serve their entire term inside the county jail. They are granted an early release but are on probation for the remainder of the time they should have done on their sentence incarcerated. \n\nA person is on parole for the same reason, only they have been granted early release from prison rather than county jail.  They are also given parole for the period of time they did not finish in prison.\n\nNow, if a person violates their probation or parole, they are sent back to serve a portion of the time the did not serve. However, what also happens is they are sentenced to an extension of their probation or parole. Somebody can be on both probation and parole at the same time.\n\nSomebody is on both when they committ another crime while on parole and it is determined not to be a felony. So, they are given probation. Then they have both a probation and a parole officer and they are usually two differant people. Two differant systems, two seperate individuals in the differant departments of justice.\n\nYes, somebody can be on active probation or parole while in jail or prison. However, as they are under the supervision of the prison or jail they do not see their probation or their parole officer while incarcerated. \n\nHowever, while in county jail, a prisoner can request to see his/her probation or parole officer. These officers are going to make reccomendations to the judge on what type of punsihment they think the person should get. So, the prisoner can request to meet with their officers in order to plead their case for a reduced sentence or even to be released from jail while waiting for the final verdict from the judge. \n\nUsually somebody on parole will not be released while waiting for the final verdict on their violation or new charge. However, those in county jail just on probation ar often released in order to cut down on over crowding or if the probation officer thinks they deserve to be out while waiting on the judges decision. If the officer is going to reccoment prison, the probationer is not likely to get out while waiting as many run when facing prison.\n\nOnce in prison, they will not see their parole officer untill they get out. Then they are given 24 hours to check in with their parole officer. If they don't a warrent for their arrest is issued immediantly and when caught they go straight back to prison.

All rise, the Honorable James Washington, presiding.  Then the judge say you may be sitted.\n\nHe will then start calling cases scheduled for the day's calendar.\n\nThe defendant will approach the podium.  The judge will advise the defendant on the charges.  He will be asked to enter a plea (guilty, no contest, not guilty) for criminal (excessive speed, dui, assualts, disorderly conduct) cases.  If you plea not guilty, then the next court hearing will be set for you.  If you plea guilty, you will be allowed to explain what happened and you will be sentenced.

Most likely it is.  Check your copy of the probation order.  If you don't have a copy, see if the court has its records on-line.  If not, have someone get a copy for you.\nThen, contact your attorney or the public defender to set up a hearing for you to come in on the possible probation violation.  This way you (1) show the court you understand there is a problem, and (2) avoid getting popped on a Friday night and spending three days -- or more -- in jail.\nDepending on the original crime, the particular rules in your state, and the particular judge, you might be able to remain on probation, and not locked up.

You go to the station and ask for a grievance form. They may try to talk you out of it.\n\n\nAnd nobody can send you back to jail because you filed a complaint while on probation.

I am a little unclear as to why you have a violation.  You said you had no transportation... to what?  Did you miss a court date or appointment with your P.O.?  Either way, don't bother telling the judge you didn't have a ride.  \n\nOne of the main purposes of putting someone on probation is to give the individual an opportunity to be come responsible (and law abiding).  \n\nIt is possible that you will get a little county jail time, however, if it's your first violation you most likely will end up with just your ass being chewed on a little.\n\nGood luck...............by the way, you DO HAVE A RIDE TOMORROW, RIGHT!

That would be STATUTE of limitations, which has nothing to do with probation or parole.  Please restate your question.

ok that's a little better. well, criminal court is a state court, as opposed to city court, county court or federal court, and as you know, they try criminal cases. the process usually goes like this: someone commits an offense or is accused of one, and they are brought before the court to answer to the charges, or stand responsible. he is given a chance at a preliminary hearing, to tell his side of the story ( which is called his defense.) after the police tell their side, too, the judge hears a recommendation from the prosecuting attorney on whether there is enough evidence to hold the offender over for trial. if yes, the defendant is granted a bail amount in most cases, and he may pay a bondsman to bail him out until the time of the trial. at the trial, there is the guilt phase, and then the punishment phase. during the guilt phase, the defendant and his/her attorney answer to the charges, and do their best to keep the offender's actions seen in a good light so that the jury will believe he's innocent. after the trial, the punishment phase dtermines to what degree the offender will be punished. either probation, community service,or prison.how else can I help?
