    Default Travel and probation

    i've looked through the threads about this subject but haven't been able to find the answer i'm looking for....i'm currently on felony probation....i want to travel abroad...i already know that it is not permissible....my question is....how will they know?....i don't report to probation at all...they haven't called or written to me in almost two years....my probation officer in november told me he was "kicking me down" whatever that is....and this meeting we had was at my request....i went to court to petition for early termination of probation (ending 10/06) but was denied by the d.a....it was ok'd by the judge in a preliminary hearing and the probation department but the judge sided with the d.a. at the request hearing....i have a valid passport and i want to travel to finland to get married....so i suppose my question is two parts....how will they know i went to finland and what could be the consequence if i'm caught?....and could hiring a lawyer upon my return help me at all?

    thanx

    Why not ask your probation officer for permission to travel?

    Default did that

    i talked with probation in nov about a travel permit and i was told that probation can no longer issue travels permits after 9/11 for felony probationers....only the judge can do so....i am going to court on monday to put myself on docket to ask the judge once again for early termination and also for a travel permit....if i'm denied then so be it...i'm going....i just wanted to know what the consequence will be or what is the possiblity of getting caught....do they check your record at the airport or are they just looking for warrants/fugitive types?....

    on my case i served 120 days of work release of a 180 day sentence....am i to assume that they would make me serve out the 60 days in jail and extend probation?....
