If you are on probation in state of California and you cross into another state what can happen?

Answer 1

To start, this must be approved by your probation officer. If your probation officer will not approve it you can not leave.

If your probation officer will approve it, they will need to request that the probation department of another state accept you for probation supervision in their state. Your current probation officer will have to request this through a process called "Interstate Compact."

If and when another state accepts you, you will be assigned a new probation officer in your new state.

There are potential complications if you are approved as well. The judge from the state that convicted you has little power to enforce the terms of your probation agreement. That means the probation department in the state you move to can impose any conditions that they consider to be appropriate. For example, if a Judge in the state that convicted you did not require a treatment program for your offense the new states probation department may or they may make your live miserable in other ways by imposing restrictions that make it difficult do do almost anything at all. When they impose these restrictions there is little you can do about it because they will not take orders from your home state judge since it is out of their jurisdiction.

If you are considering moving out of state while on probation and without approval, I would highly advise against that. This would be a violation of your probation and would likely get you arrested.

Answer 2

What were you pulled over for? If it's a simple traffic violation - nothing. If more serious (e.g.- DUI - Hit & Run - Fleeing - Vehicular Homicide - etc) you're probably in violation of your probation and will be dealt with accordingly.

Answer 3

You will get violated unless you get a pass which is easy to get. They are good for 30 days in Louisiana

Answer 4

If the crossing occurs without prior permission to do so, the felon may be charged with absconding.
