∙ 9y agoDepending on the state, a judge is usually the boss, although it may be the head probation officer. It would be unusual for the prosecutor to be in a probation officers chain of command.

What does informal probation mean?
Simply, It means that you have to stay completely out of trouble until your probation is up. To be more exact, you don't have to report to a probation officer if you're leaving the state or check-in with a probation officer whatsoever. But, if you do get in trouble (depending on what it is) you are potentially looking at a probation violation which could end up in jail time, community service, more probation, ect, ect. Hope this helped, been there before.
If you are on probation in state of California and you cross into another state what can happen?
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.

File a motion with the judge that sentenced you to probation, to shorten your sentence. Since probation is a pretty lenient sentence, you would probably have to give some pretty good reasons why he should be even more lenient on you.
You drank beer and missed your pbt should you come clean with your probation officer?
Of course you should. You have been convicted of a crime and that is what put you on probation in the first place. When you have terms of probation that are required to be followed these are put in place by a court system and a community that showed you leniancy for your crime. If they weren't showing you leniancy you would be in jail or prison and not on probation. Failure to follow the rules set forth for your probation agreement is unfair to the community that showed you this leniancy. Furthermore, if your probation officer finds out that you violated something in the agreement and did not come clean about it, you will be much more likely to be given a harsher penalty when you are given a probation violation. If you do decide to tell the probation officer, you will likely be shown more leniancy with the court if the probation officer decides to violate you. In some cases, the probation officer may choose not to violate you because you were up-front with them about the situation. Instead they may add additional requirements to your probation where you have to show up and prove you werent drinking instead or alternatively make you participate in a chemical dependency program if you haven't been ordered to already. It might be helpful when you break the news to probation that you offer some sort of detailed plan to make sure it doesn't happen again as well as offer to take any additional steps the probation officer might suggest.
