Lawyers agree
Answered You can expect that violations of probation (VOP's) are very different than substantive (new) cases. The terms and conditions of probation make it such that any material and willful violation can result in a no bond hold, a bench (not a jury) hearing (trial) with lax rules of evidence, admissible hearsay and a reduced burden of proof (a "preponderance of evidence" - or "more likely than not"). In the circumstances that you've outlined (a technical) it really depends upon your Judge. We have 45 criminal court Judges in the 305 some of whom are very strict and others who are more tolerant. Either way you can be held without bond pending a VOP hearing.

If you want to increase your odds at staying out of jail, minimizing your jail time and your exposure then hire an experienced 305 area criminal defense lawyer. If you choose to go this alone then you can expect hard luck and t-r-o-u-b-l-e.

I hope this has been helpful and wish you good luck.
