What Is a Probation Violation?
When placed on probation, an individual is given a list of things they must do and not do. These terms must be followed entirely throughout the duration of the probation period. There are several types of probation violations that can arise, depending on the type of probation the person is placed on.
Common probation violations include:
- Failure to complete counseling
- Failure to pay court fines or fees
- Failure to comply with a court order
- Removal of a security monitoring device
- Failure to pass a drug test
- Communication with a person you were ordered not to speak to
- Consumption of alcohol when you were ordered not to
- Failure to appear in court
- Failure to check-in with a probation officer
- Commission of a new crime
