    Is There a Statute of Limitations on Probation Violations
    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Georgia
    Ok, so I got into trouble misdemeanor then about a month later got in trouble again misdemeanor. So I was on 2 probations, was paying and doing what I was sopposed to do. One of them I had to go back to court for a violation, but showed my p.o. that everything was done except one thing, so I showed him I paid for it, and just had to do it. Well I did complete it, but did it online, and never reciever the certificate. And little by little I quit going due to money being scared etc. Before I knew it there was no turning back.
    I know I have no warrants, because I have a d.l. and got a ticket. I was put on the 2 probations around 2005/2006. so its been a good 4 to 5 years since all this happened. My questions are is there a statute of limitations...where after a certain time it just disappears or I dont have to worry about coming back and biting me in the but? And does it show I have open probations when employers look into my social? Any info would be much appreciated. I need to know whats going on but I am scared to ask authority.

    Re: 2 Probations 2 Counties Didnt Finish Either One is There a Statute of Limitations
    There is no statute of limitations on probation. Probation was the sentence handed down. Now, it's your responsibility to complete your conditions by the scheduled termination date. More than likely, there is a warrant. It may not be in the LEADS database, but I would hardly doubt that there's no warrant. Try calling the Clerks office were your charges were handled and see if they can tell you the most recent hearing results concerning your cases.

    Viol8 is right. You don't get any points for being a fugitive.
