No, it is not the same thing, you can get both at the same time as punishment.
It's any form of lawful punishment that does not include imprisonment. This includes probation, day fines, and community service.
You WERE placed on probation alright! The terms of your probation was to satisfactorily perform "community service." If you failed to fulfill the terms, then you have not served your sentence.
Modern countries have mostly banned the use if instruments (physical things) to inflict punishment. Punishments now include time in prison, community service, probation, detention and fines.
probation
The Probation Service is the key part of criminal justice. The Probation Service came about when the court began releasing offenders into the population again.The Probation Service is to help offenders serve a community order.
An advantage of community service is that it can enhance your resume. A disadvantage of community service is that it can be a form of punishment. ^^ ;)
the punishment will only be a fine. I had a friend who was arrested for the same thing and was charged with "Unlawful use of a telephone" and got 6 months community service and 1 year probation.
Primary punishment refers to the main penalty or sanction imposed on an individual who has committed a crime, typically in the form of imprisonment, fines, probation, or community service. It is designed to hold offenders accountable for their actions and deter future criminal behavior.
Community based punishment is usually referred to as community service. This is often given instead of a prison or jail term.
If you have been ordered by a judge to community service as a condition of probation or a suspended sentence your probation can be violated by your probation officer. In turn if you do not do your community service you are looking at jail time.In most cases you can do 30 days in your county jail but can get as little as 10 days or more time to do community service/pay fines depends on your record and if they hade to bring you to court by local p.d.
Something is missing from the question. If you successfully completed your community service AND you successfully completed your probation period - then - when and what was the warrant issued for?
