Are You Agreeing to Felony Probation?

12/4/2017

0 Comments

 
Ever wondered about being placed on a formal probation, for the felony committed, and in exchange for your guilty plea?
Maybe you breathe a heave a sigh of relief for getting off easy, however, this might prove to be wrong. To be honest, while a felony probation is better than being in prison, it is still a punishment and at times, it becomes very challenging.

So what makes felony prison challenging?
Here is a list of considerations attached to felony probation and which you might not know.
  • Even if you opt for felony probation you can still end up in prison. Felony probation is like walking a tightrope over a pit, one misstep and you will end up in a dark deep hole, taking years to make your way out of it. Hence, if you fail to meet the probation’s terms and conditions, you can still be taken into custody.
  • In some cases, you might come across the restriction of travel. This is one of the typical conditions of felony probation, which restrict your traveling as you cannot leave without receiving permission from your probation officer.
  • Your probation might require you to consider a job. The states’ laws may ask the defendant to be gainfully employed. This may compel you to accept the jobs which you may be unwilling to take or may feel beneath yourself, not worthy of your time.
  • Your person or house may be searched without any prior warning or warrant. This is a common probation condition and you must agree to the terms. This particular condition is quite common in drug cases since the court must verify that you do not have illegal drugs and this may also include uninformed drug testing.
Hence if being a defendant you are thinking to opt for felony probation, you must first take the assistance of a well-reputed lawyer so that you can evaluate your case with some professional insight.
