    Default Violation of Probation Due to Paperwork Confusion

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida

    I had all of my probation requirements completed before my due date. However, I did not realize that I had to have the paperwork recorded at the probation office before this date. When I went to the office to turn in the paperwork and request a travel permit, my officer informed me that she had issued a warrant and a violation of probation because I did not have the paperwork stamped on time. I had to cancel a family vacation because she would not approve a travel form and basically said that I had the paperwork and and should have known. However, the paperwork said it must be completed by that date ( which it was, just not turned in). She said that she would write a letter to the judge requesting that the violation be cancelled, but I have not heard from her nor have I been able to contact her for the past 4 days now. I looked online and the warrant is still standing. What are the aspects of a warrant for violation of probation? If I go to the courthouse to try to get information, are they going to arrest me? I feel like she could have called me on the day papers were do since I have to pay for cost of supervision. If I hadnt gone in to get a travel request, I would have had no idea a warrant was issued.

    You don't receive phone calls about violations or court conditions. Your responsibitlity is to make sure all your stuff is in. How is she supposed to know what was done if you don't turn it in. She's trying to cancel the violation, but that may not come in time. If you provide proof of completion to the court, you should be fine.
