The violation of probation depends on how serious the violation is. If the probation is not serious, chances are the adult or juvenile defendant will be given a second chance and will be allowed to remain on probation under the same terms and conditions. If a more serious violation occurs, then there will likely be a violation of probation with some consequences.
If a probation violation occurs, the adult or juvenile defendant could be arrested or ordered to court, by means of official mail notification, for a probation violation hearing. At the probation violation hearing, the Prosecutor must prove the adult or juvenile defendant violated probation. If the defendant is found guilty of the probation violation, the court may impose one of several punishments.
Violation Consequences:
- Potential jail or prison sentence
- Probation extension
- Additional probation terms imposed
- Probation revoked
- Probation reinstated with same terms and conditions or different terms
- Community service
- CalTrans (physical labor)
- Rehabilitation / Counseling / Treatment Program
