Local court in Central Florida have taken a harsh stance on Violations of Probation (VOP) and Violations of Community Control (VOCC) and the penalties for violations can be severe. Judges have many sentencing alternatives on violations which range from simply reinstating the probationer back on their original term of probation to jail time or even a prison sentence on felony cases.
Arrests based on Violations of Probation or Community Control are not automatically entitled to a bail or bond amount. This means that an arrest because of a VOP or VOCC may result in the accused remaining in jail until the date of the Violation hearing. This hearing is often scheduled several months in the future.
This situation can be addressed by an attorney, and a request for bond can be made at a hearing. If a bond is granted by the judge, the accused may be able to be released while the VOP or VOCC is pending.
Violations of Probation or Community Control are based on an accusation by the probation officer that the terms of probation have been violated. This accusation is a legal document, and there are specific requirements that the Probation Officer must follow.
