    Question Does a Speeding Ticket Violate Michigan Probation

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan

    I was arrested twice for retail fraud. I was sentenced for probation for 2 years. I have completed about 99% of my probation with no violations whatsoever. Unfortunatly, I was in a hurry driving to get to a doctors apointment and I went over the speed limit. I was then pulled aside by a police officer who gave me a speeding ticket. Will this ticket affect my probation at all? Is it a violation of probation?
    Please answer asap.
    Thanks in advance.

    I dont think so, usually only criminal charges will violation probation, but to be on the safe side double check with your PO.

    Not sure about Michigan, but it does not violate in GA, NC, WV, VA, OH, KY, MD, or D.C. ...but the contact with the law does require, in those states, that if one is on supervised probation they report contact with law enforcement to their Probation Officer. Generally a phone call to the P.O. will do and they will likely ask the circumstances, what you plan to do (pay it, fight it, ignore it (the last choice is not good) and tell you to keep your nose clean or ask you to drop by with the ticket so they can put a copy in your record and make sure it's paid or challenged. They don't prevent people from getting their day in court, they just want to make sure that people are compliant.
