About Probation Violations in San Diego
In California, a defendant who has been convicted of a crime may have the opportunity to avoid part of all of his or her term of imprisonment by being placed on probation. When granted formal probation, the individual will be required to report to a probation officer once a month, as well as comply with additional regulations regarding attending counseling, rehabilitation, and more. Violating the terms of one's probation is a criminal offense which may result in an extended term of probation, or possibly the full enforcement of the sentence he or she would have faced, had probation not been granted.
Following are examples of potential probation violations:
- Failure to report to probation officer
- Association with known criminals
- Failure to attend counseling
- Failure to complete rehabilitation
- Drug or alcohol abuse
- Arrest or detention for a new criminal offense
- Violation of a restraining order
- Failure to pay court-ordered fines
