Probation Violations in California
When a defendant is placed on probation in California, he or she must follow the specific terms of probation in order to avoid additional jail or other penalties. Some of these terms may include:
- Formally reporting to a probation officer
- Attending a drug and/or alcohol treatment program
- Paying fines and fees
- Staying away from certain locations or protected persons
Violating any of these terms may result in a probation violation charge based upon a referral to the court from a probation officer or program counselor's account of the events. However, a person on probation has the right to challenge the allegations of a probation violation and can present evidence of compliance with the terms in court.
