Warrant for Arrest

Alexis explains: "so there are a number of different mechanisms in place first and foremost it depends on if you're on unsupervised probation versus supervised probation so if you're on unsupervised probation depending on the severity of the violation um if you just let's say you're on a traffic case and you forgot to turn in your traffic class completion so what the courts will do is they will send a notice in the mail saying hey you you're getting revoked on probation unless you come tell us what was going on here and they'll give you a summons and a date to come to the court and explain what was going on if it's a more serious case and you're on supervised probation the probation officer can also give you a summons and say hey you failed this ua you gave a hot ua so i'm going to make you come to court and they'll give you a summons if it's more egregious if you just completely stop talking to your probation officer and just don't show up and they can't get a hold of you probation actually has the authority to request a warrant for your arrest"

Alexis explains: "so there are multiple types of probation too so people often hear of court supervised probation or unsupervised probation versus supervised probation so court supervised probation is basically where the court is saying okay person who's on probation you've got to do these things i'm going to trust you to get it done on your own so we're just going to court supervise you meaning that the court is going to be checking in seeing how you're doing but they're not like proactively reaching out usually what happens on an unsupervised probation is the court sets a review date and says okay i'm going to look to see if this person has done all the things they're supposed to do like traffic classes or domestic violence classes or alcohol classes and then they say okay if you have completed everything that you're supposed to do we will close this case out if you haven't completed everything then the court can issue a warrant for your arrest"
