Penalties for Violating Probation Rules

The penalties for violating one's probation can vary greatly. The first thing it depends on is how it was violated. Was an appointment with a probation officer missed? Did the probationer commit another crime? Are drugs involved? Was a mandatory court appearance missed? Was the state left without permission of the probation officer? Depending on what was done, the severity of the penalty will be assigned. There are no set rules of what penalties must be assigned when probation is violated. The probation officer is given discretion to weigh all the factors and decide what to do. One of your legal rights is to have attorney representation. It is strongly advised that you take advantage of this right. Probation violations can result in your probation being cancelled and sometimes, prison sentences can even be extended. No matter what your circumstances, don't take chances with your future.
