What happens if you never show up to probation?

Answer 1

It depends on the P.O. and your probation history thus far. The P.O. will most likely decide to do a suprise home visit, suprise drug test or even both. It all depends on them and there own special personality. They could violate you, order community service yours or both if they don't like you. They run the show now. So, the only person qualified to answer this question is you...think over all the aspects of your relationship and history with your P.O. and you will have your answer.

Answer 2

the probation officer will tell the judge and they will issue a bench warrant for your arrest, then the judge will decide whether to revoke your probation or not and if he does you will go to jail.

Answer 3

Probation is a sentence for being found guilty. A very lenient sentence, but a sentence nonetheless. If you do not comply with the terms of your probation and/or fail to show up at hearings as ordered, you can be remanded to jail to serve the term of your sentence behind bars. If you cannot be readily located a warrant will probably be issued for your arrest and you will be a fugitive.

Answer 4

You'd better be prepared with a GOOD excuse. Probation is NOT a joke, it is a sentence for being found GUILTY of a crime! The PO or the judge could violate you immediately and place you in jail to serve the remainder of your sentence behind bars.

Answer 5

they put out an order (warrent) for your arrest under FTA (failure to appear) & when they arrest you they charge you for an FTA AND for a probation violation. you will have a bond, then a court date, then usually do your suspended sentence unless you can prove you had a damn good reason for not being in court. like you were in the hospital, rehab, in jail in another county, etc.

Answer 6

You can be violated for failing to appear or you can be charged with absconding.

Answer 7

a bench warrant will be issued for you that day.
