How much time can a probation officer pull if you fail first drug test in 8yrs on probation and have never been in violation?

This would be considered a "technical" violation, meaning that there are no new charges. The most amount of time that CAN be revoked for a technical violation is two years (for a felony conviction, which this obviously was a felony due to the amount of time on probation). However, if the person on probation is honest with his/her probation officer then they will usually work together. It's usually best to be honest and upfront with a probation (and parole) officer. I don't know the details ~ did the probationer tell the probation officer he/she had used prior to the test or did the probationer play "dumb" and try to lie to get out of it. With what I have seen over the past 14 years, the probation officer can give the probationer a very stern warning and may 'up' the terms of probation (possibly putting him/her on, say, 3-6 months of intensive probation or make him/him attend some type of drug classes for a certain amount of time). I have a friend who had been passing drug tests by using someone else's urine and after months and months of doing this, she finally broke down and confessed to the fact that she had been using. Her parole officer put her in jail for 45 days and when she got out of jail, she went straight back into the 3/4ths house where she has been for approximately two (2) years. I am certainly no expert, but this is what I have seen and heard for the past 14 years.

Does a Tennessee violation of probation warrant end?
No. If you violated the terms of your sentence by violating it, you never satisfactorily completed your sentence.

Warrants never expire. They exist until canceled by the judge.
In FL can violation of probation charges be brought after probation period expires if the terms of probation aren't completed?
Yes, of course. If you never completed the terms of your probation, then it hasn't 'ended.' You must fulfill ALL the terms of your probation to the satisfaction of the court before you are released from your sentence.

My friend is an officer and after receiving a violation I asked the same question and he said no. He has never seen it affect your insurance.
Do state troopers in Pennsylvania still accept payment for a violation at the time of the violation?
To my knowledge, State Troopers in any US State have never expected or accepted payment of a driving or other violation at the time of the violation. In fact, I believe it is against the law for any police officer to demand, request, expect, or accept monies when issuing a ticket for a violation.

Me and my husband just went on a cruise to Mexico. He is on probation for 10yrs for some pot from 7 years ago. He didnt get a notice from his Probation officer and was never asked about it. We just went. The cruise lines only want people with unpaid warrants.
What happens when you got a Probation Violation?
i've never heard of provoking probation, i assume you mean to revoke probation. Revocation of probation usually occurs when you violate the terms of your release. A common violation is alcohol cumsuptions. Usually you will see a judge in this case and you may possibly have to serve the rest of your time in jail instead of probation if it is a serious enough infraction. Probation is a chance for you to prove to the court you can be better, it is something that is given, therefore can be taken away.
What are the consequences of violating probation 3 times?
The presiding judge can 1. reinstate probation, 2. revoke probation and sentence to jail/prison for up to the time remaining on the probation (i.e. if felon A sentenced to two years probation on a charge allowing two years prison, and felon A has served one year of probation before violating, the maximum sentence at time of probation violation would be up to one year.) Part of what is stated above is not true. Lets say a person is given a two year suspended sentence and is placed on probation for two years. If they violate probation and get revoked after one year and eleven months on probation their sentence when executed is still two years. Another consequence is that in most jurisdictions there is no bail when picked up on a violation of probation charge. My cousin violated probation on a
If you admitted using marijuana to your probation officer and you have a hearing in a week what should you do?
Go with your confession. Most judges are lenient to "honesty is the best policy". Then swear you'll never do it again, and that it was a mistake... It worked for me!
Does your probation officer have to tell you if he is going to revoke your probation?
It would be nice if he told you but he isn't required to. He never knows for sure if you are a flight risk and he wouldn't want to give you a reason to run either so my guess would be he wouldn't tell you. Ive seen people walk into a probation office thinking this is a regular visit and 2 hours later they come out in handcuffs. Stay on your p's and q's
