Many people end up entering a plea and getting placed on probation. It's usually considered a win. You didn't go to jail, you didn't put on house arrest, so you wind up on probation. The problem is that's where the problem starts.
It's not easy for a lot of people to complete probation. There are a lot of requirements when you're on probation. For example, you can't possess a firearm when you're on probation, you can't leave the county without telling your probation officer you have to report once a month that you're subject to random urinalysis. You can't use any drugs you're not prescribed while you're on probation.
Probation officers come to your house. They can do a warrantless random search of your home if they want to. You have to maintain gainful employment or at least be looking for employment.
You have to pay all your court costs, your fees, your fines, and your probation costs with all the requirements of probation placed upon somebody. It's actually pretty easy to violate. Probation officers have a zero-tolerance policy which means they don't really have the discretion to say, "Oh, you know what?
You failed a drug test. It's only marijuana. I'm going to let that go. Oh, you changed your address without telling me, Oh, you went to a Bucs game in Tampa without telling me, I'll just forget about that."
That's not how they operate. They have strict orders that the first violation that you have. They have to violate you. Here's what happens when they violate you. Just one minor violation, a so-called "technical violation", the probation officer fills out an affidavit, and sends it over to the judge.
The judge signs the warrant and a warrant comes out for your arrest and it happens really quickly. Probably the worst part about it is when that judge signs the warrant. He issues no bond on the warrant. That means when you get picked up and you get a first appearance, you don't have a bond. LEARN MORE IN THE VIDEO
