Most judges will usually not dictate how often someone is drug tested. It is up to the probation officer.
Not living at the address given to your probation officer would be considered violating probation. Doing this can get you sent back to prison for the remainder of your sentence.
Probation itself is not a conviction, however if you are on probation it's because you have been convicted of a crime, and have been given probation in lieu of a jail sentence.
it is a state grant which is given in order to encourage the granting of probation for future offenders.
Any person sentenced to probation is required to adhere to the rules of said probation. Most often there is a rule that requires no socialization with any other person(s) on probation or felons. However if both persons do not have that as a requirement then it is legally allowed.
Intensive Probation Supervision (IPS)
Yes, probation is one of the most common forms of punishment in the United States. It allows individuals to serve their sentence in the community under supervision, rather than in prison. Probation is often used for non-violent offenses and first-time offenders.
You are notified by the court, or your probation officer, that you have completed the term of your probation and (in my experience) given a 'certificate of discharge' from probation. Of course if your jurisdiction differs from this procedure, contact your PO and simply ask.
The difference between felony and misdemeanor probation is the felony is when a person is sentence to a jail term, but it can be served out of jail. The misdemeanor probation is not given jail time. They serve a probation period.
I was violated on my probation for a dirty urine went to jail and was given a temporary release until my court date. Does this mean i still on probation now.
When assigned a sentence of probation EVERYONE is given a set of rules and restrictions under which they must live. READ YOUR PROBATION PAPERS.
They often do. Recidivist felons frequently visit the police and most police have guns. If you want to visit a buddy who has guns most states do not consider that to be a breach of your probation. You should talk to your probation officer before you take anybody's word on the internet (even mine--and I'm always right).
