Violation of Probation in Florida
Violation of probation (VOP) in Florida is a very serious offense. By acting contrary to a specific or general condition handed down by a judge at a sentencing or failing to comply with the terms of the probation can result in a revocation of the probation which could result in a number of severe penalties including significant jail time. It is important to remember that there is no statute of limitations when it comes to the crimes committed during a probation violation in Florida; that is to say the law can prosecute alleged violator at any time after the alleged violation.
If a person violates their probation they do not have a right to a trial before a jury, and the balance of the burden of proof shifts to be based on a preponderance of evidence. Unlike other criminal cases where there must be compelling evidence that a person committed a crime, in a VOP hearing prosecuting attorneys only have to prove that a person probably committed a crime. Furthermore, you can also be compelled to be a witness at your hearing.
the rules:
When Casey Anthony returns to Orlando she will be bound by the rules of her probation for one year, for a check-fraud charge she pleaded guilty to in 2010.
Meet with a probation officer on the fifth day of every month
Pay $20 per month toward the cost of supervision, plus a four per cent surcharge
Not change her residence or employment or leave the county without first getting consent from her probation officer
Neither possess, carry or own any weapons or firearm without first getting consent from her probation officer
Not 'use intoxicants to excess'. She cannot visit places where intoxicants, drugs or other dangerous substances are unlawfully sold, dispensed or used
'Work diligently at a lawful occupation and support any dependants to the best of your ability'
Answer her probation officer's questions promptly
Not possess marijuana or other controlled substances
Submit to reasonable searches without a warrant of her person, effects, residence or business premises or vehicle for alcoholic beverages, controlled substances, weapons or firearms.
Submit to chemical tests (breath, urine, blood) upon request to determine the presence and quantity of alcohol or controlled substance in blood.
Not knowingly associate with others engaged in criminal acts.
