    Post Denied a Probation Transfer

    I went to Florida for vacation and was arrested for battery on a Leo. My residence is Philadelphia,PA. I took two years probation because I wanted to get on with my life and was tired of being in Florida. Now we got permission from the judge to transfer our probation. But we had to go thru something called interstate compact,something like that I think is what it was called. We were given travel permits so we can go to back home to Philadelphia. Today I get a call from a PO in Florida stating that I have to go back to Florida and do my probation over but I don't live in Florida. My place of residence is in Philadelphia and don't have to have place to stay over there. Now I was staying with mother while the case was handled with but I can not stay there it was just to visit. I don't know what to do and I feel like I'm screwed. Can anyone help?

    Why do you have to "do over" your probation?

    if it ends up you're reauired, you either do it or risk being violated and head to jail. If you don't do what's required, the court issues a warrant for your arrest.

    It doesn't matter you don't live in Florida. You committed the crime in Florida.

    I don't have to "do-over" my probation. It just started while I was back home in Philadelphia. I only committed the crime in florida. I was never a resident of Florida. The judge said I can transfer it to Philadelphia but now they are saying they can't do I don't understand why?

    If you dont don't have to do over your probation, maybe you shouldn't say you have to do over your probation as you did in your first post;

    have to go back to Florida and do my probation over but I don't live in Florida. My place of
    you don't seem to understand you broke a Florida law and Florida is who prosecuted you and Florida is who oversees your probation.


    Anyway, start here;

    to transfer your probation, two states have to be involved.

    FL has to approve your transfer and PA has to accept you as a transfer in.

    It's possible that PA has refused to accept you into their state for probation so FL might have nothing to do with rejected transfer.

    The judge can give you permission to request a transfer but, cannot force the transfer to happen. What you should have done was wait until the transfer was approved and then went back to you original state. You haven't really told the whole issue as to why you were denied(probably wasn't intentional.) But, there are a host of reasons as to why the request was refused.
