A violation of probation may
be alleged if you are accused violating the technical (or administrative) terms
of your probation, or if you are accused of committing a new crime.
A Technical Violation of Probation involves failure to adhere to
the administrative or special conditions of their probation such as:
-
Failing to Report a
change of address;
-
Missing mandatory meetings with their probation officer;
-
Failure
to pay court costs; or
-
Failing to complete court ordered classes or programs.
A
Substantive Violation of Probation involves committing or being
directly associated with a new crime or criminal act. If you are
currently serving a period of court ordered probation and the violation
of your probation was the act of committing a new crime, even if you
are found "not guilty" of the new alleged crime, the court has the
authority to revoke your probation and reinstate the original conviction
and sentencing guidelines. Unlike your original trial, in a violation of
probation hearing, the prosecution must only prove that a "preponderance
of the evidence" existed.
