If you violate a term or condition of your probation, the probation officer will request the judge to sign a warrant for your arrest.  Most judges will not allow a bond for a violation of probation.  This means if you are arrested on that warrant, you will go to jail and will not be able to bond out. If there are special circumstances, we can request that a judge set a bond or allow electronic monitoring as a condition of letting you out of jail while your violation of probation hearing is pending. In most probation violation cases, we can resolve the violation by admitting the allegations in the warrant and agreeing to time served.  Violations such as not reporting to probation may be resolved with little or no jail time.  If you commit a new crime or failure a urine test, the judge will require a significant amount of jail time.  A dirty urine violation may be able to resolved with a treatment program instead of jail.
