Probation

 When
an individual is accused of a violation of probation
they are not being charged with a new crime. Since the
individual has already been given probation in sentencing, a
proven violation of that probation may result in enforcing
penalties according to the sentencing guidelines of the
underlying crime which the individual was originally convicted
of.
The courts take
probation violations very seriously because by giving you
probation instead of jail time for a conviction, they have shown a
leap of faith that you have the ability to stay out of trouble and
follow the probation guidelines. When you violate the probation, you
have also violated the courts trust, which they do not respond
favorably to if the violation of probation has been proven to exist.

An individual may be accused of violating their
probation as a result of a "Technical Violation" or a
"Substantive Violation."
Technical Violation of Probation:
occurs when an individual
violates the special conditions of their imposed
probation. This type of violating the terms of probation
does not involve committing a new crime. Common
technical violations of probation include:
-
Changing
your address without permission;
-
Failure to pay court costs or
fines;
-
Failure to appear for a probation
meeting;
-
Being late to a probation meeting;
-
Failure to complete court-ordered
classes.
Substantive Violation of Probation:
occurs when an
individual violates the conditions probation by the act
of committing a new crime. If convicted of the new
crime, the individual will not only face the sentencing
of the new crime, but also have the sentencing
guidelines of the associated crime which lead to your
probation being instated as well.
One of the pitfalls of being accused of a new crime is
that 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.
