It depends on what country you live in. If in the US, then it depends on what state you live in and/or the juristiction of the case (ie., federal, state, county...)

You may end up serving the full term.  If your probation was for 2 years, you may serve 2 years in prison since you violated your terms of probation.  If additional charges are filed, you may serve more time.

If you were convicted of a felony either by a judge or by pleading guilty, I imagine the same laws apply as if you'd been convicted by a jury. After all, if you did not receive a jury trial it's because you felt it was to your advantage to waive that right.\n\nIf you were tried and not found guilty, or the charges were dropped, then you are considered innocent of your crime and not a felon.

It depends on what their sentence is.  That is up to the courts.  \nFor instance... i was put on probation for felony prescription fraud for 3 years with deferred adjudicaton.  However, after doing 1.5 years i petitioned the courts to grant early release based on my performance.  I was really serious (and still am) about leading the clean life and steering clear of trouble now, and my comm officer knew that.  \n\nUnfortunately, regardless of whether my sentence was deferred i still have to check "yes" in that little box that asks "have you ever been arrested?" on an employment form.  \n\nIt's a hard lesson learned that will follow me for the rest of my life.\n\nThe way i understand it is, i will have to wait another 5 years to have the "arrest" not show up anymore... if i am lucky... and that is a big if.\n\nMoral of the story... stay away from drugs.

Nope... sometimes they'll let you pay in can goods. You should ask your probation officer.

It depends what state you are in and what judge you get.  Also, your age, stance in the community (are you employed or in school), and if it is your first offense.  If you get a lenient judge, are young, and have no priors you may get community service or probation.  You may have to pay a fine and replace what you stole.  You could even get a minimal amount of jail time.

Come on.  That's all you're going to write?\n\nFine.\n\nUnless the Court can prove you were served with a notice to appear for jury duty, you're all good.  Without proof that you received an order to appear, you can't be held liable for not appearing.  Could be someone is stealing your jury duty notice from your mailbox.\n\nIs it possible the Court might choose to reach out and touch you with a personally-served notice for jury duty?  I suppose...but it seems unlikely.  \n\nBut really - instead of asking or worrying about this, just go do it.  It's part of the price you pay for living in the society you do...warts and all, it's still about the best thing we've got going.

GETTING OUT OF JURY DUTY - EXCUSES IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO SERVE\n  After receiving your summons, you may determine that you are not in a position to serve and need to get out of jury duty.  If you have a compelling reason, you can ask to get out of jury duty by writing the court.  This may allow you to avoid the call-in process altogether.  Exemptions for getting out of jury duty are generally given for the following reasons:\n        You are over 70 years old.\n        You are a volunteer firefighter, rescue squad member or ambulance crew member.\n        You must care for young children or elderly adults, if your absence will put them at risk.\n        You are so important to the operation of a business that your absence will cause that business to fail.\n        You are an attorney, physician, dentist or registered nurse.\n        You do not have a car and are unable to use public transportation.\n  Excuses are not given through the mail for general work or family care responsibilities.  These problems will be considered during the jury selection process (after you actually report to the courthouse.)\n  There are also positions you can take that will help you in avoiding jury duty.  Those jury duty excuses will be discussed below under "Jury Selection."\n  Some jurors have questioned whether a summons sent by standard first class mail actually carries legal weight.  Unless a summons is sent via registered mail and signed for by the recipient, it's difficult for the government to prove that the summons was actually received.  Remember that a summons is a command from the court that you appear.  Disregarding a summons (no matter how it comes to you) is a crime.

Don't. It is your civic duty. Some employers even pay you your regular pay while your gone. That means you could get a little mini paid vacation. Even if not you shouldn't try to get out of it.\n\nIf you have a legit. reason not to participate in jury duty, that reason alone should be enough to get you off. ex: If you know one of the parties personally. If that is the case you can not be a part of the jury because you would not be impartial.

I am a little unclear as to why you have a violation.  You said you had no transportation... to what?  Did you miss a court date or appointment with your P.O.?  Either way, don't bother telling the judge you didn't have a ride.  \n\nOne of the main purposes of putting someone on probation is to give the individual an opportunity to be come responsible (and law abiding).  \n\nIt is possible that you will get a little county jail time, however, if it's your first violation you most likely will end up with just your ass being chewed on a little.\n\nGood luck...............by the way, you DO HAVE A RIDE TOMORROW, RIGHT!

Not sure about Florida specifically, but normally you are placed on probation for a specific period of time.  Once you violate the terms of your probation, the "clock stops", meaning that are now in limbo as far as running the clock out on your probation time.  The remaining time on your probation sentence will stay on the books forever or until you are caught and the probation violation is adjudged by going back to court.\nSo, to answer your question, a probation warrant does not expire.  That's the way it is in Texas and I'm sure most states.

Doesn't matter if they read your rights or not, that will only get you out of any incriminating statements you made... Do you have a record of any kind?  If not try to get a plea deal for probation and have the charges reduced to disorderly conduct.  What area/city/state are you in?  That makes a big difference too.  If you do get infront of the judge explain how you just graduated and weren't thinking right and you know you made some bad decisions and other crap he wants to hear... and dress nicely...  Theoretically you could get jail time and have your license suspended (in PA 6 mo for posession and another 6-12 for underage alcohol...)  but, like I said, if you have a clean sheet, and your look nice and act nice and make sure the judge knows how sorry you were you should get off with a tap on the wrist... a year or two of light probation and a fine... remember though, if you get stuck with posession it follows you for the rest of you life as a drug conviction, so do whatever to get that reduced...

Most likely it is.  Check your copy of the probation order.  If you don't have a copy, see if the court has its records on-line.  If not, have someone get a copy for you.\nThen, contact your attorney or the public defender to set up a hearing for you to come in on the possible probation violation.  This way you (1) show the court you understand there is a problem, and (2) avoid getting popped on a Friday night and spending three days -- or more -- in jail.\nDepending on the original crime, the particular rules in your state, and the particular judge, you might be able to remain on probation, and not locked up.

I wish you had provided more information.  If I understand you correctly you violated probation 3 years ago.  \n\nIf that is correct, you will be given a hearing after you turn yourself in or get arrested.  It depends on why you were violated.  By not showing up, however, is enough for you to be violated.\n\nSuggestion, contact a bail bond agent and make arrangements for a bail bond then turn yourself in.  Generally the judge will be more open to explanations about your situation if you take responisibility and turn yourself in.  \n\nBe aware, however, some states do not allow you to be bonded out on probation violations until disposition is complete.  \n\nGood luck!

Voting Rights With a Felony\n\n    * Even if you have a felony conviction, you can vote if:\n           you are on probation, or\n           you have completed your probation, or\n           you have completed parole.\n\n    * The only time you are not allowed to vote is if you have a felony conviction and you are still in prison or on parole. Once you have completed your prison sentence and parole, you can register to vote.

If you do behave then you have a possiblity of of getting off early. Also if you maybe do volunteer work that'd look really good. Talk to your probation officer, don't make it seem like you're just trying to get off early, ask them about volunteering and all that. it'll look good and you'll be on their good side. Don't lie to them, just be honest. Thats what i did and it worked for me! I haven't been on probation in years! Probation is hard to get off early any other way

That is affirmative the only days you are allowed to take off are the actual days that you report for the jury pool. You will stay in a room until you are called. Bring a good book to read.
