Re: Need info ASAP!! Statue of limitations 11-5-50 CA

Courts in every state that I know of can continue to extend
the probation by violating you. Every time you get a PV your
probation can be continued for another peroiod of time. I"ve
had clients whose one year probation turned into six on
violations and new charges. You are not off of probation until
you complete all of the terms of it. The 3 years is not a get
out of jail free card, it means you have 3 years to what
you're supposed to and keep you nose clean or you go to jail.
Do what the court tells you do this time, ALL of it, or sit
your time out in jail, it's your choice. But probation isn't
over till they tell you it is.
