Violating probation in itself is not a crime.
A hearing will determine if a judge will impose the full sentence, extend probation or continue with the probation unchanged.
A judge could impose a term of imprisonment and release the offender on probation. A judge could also decide that time served was enough to teach the offender a lesson about leaving the state. All of this depends on why the offender left the state to begin with.
I asked my probation officer 5 times this summer to leave the state for travel to VA, NJ, WV and PA without any issues. Probation exists for a good reason - not to flaunt it or disrespect it.

it depends on your charge if it was a felony then it will be a felony probation violation if it was a misdemeanor the it a misdemeanor violation but they can revoke your probation for it and most probation officers don't care if you go to the next state as long as you tell them so their is know reason for that type of violation unless you just like to get them mad or you just want to go to prison

properly you're saying you do no longer want to be lectured yet what do you assume? All you need to do is see your probation officer and get a commute enable. How perplexing is that? could you extremely possibility getting pulled over and then violate your probation and pass to penal complex? To me the respond is easy. The officer would understand you're on probation. whilst they pull you license information up interior the computer it is going to arise. it is not proper what state you're in.. they are going to now. reliable success to you.. and that i'm hoping you agree directly to make the excellent determination.

It is a probation violation, and a warrant is issued for it.
What you have to worry about is the fact that you may have to serve the rest of your probation ( in jail instead of probation)
It is not the violation that is the problem, it is the orginal sentence that gets violated

It is a violation of your probation and you could be sentenced to anything up to the maximum penalty for the crime you were convicted of. If you have a suspended sentence hanging over your head that would be the maximum punishment.

IN ITSELF A VIOLATION BUT YOU CAN CONTACT YOUR PROBATION OFFICER TO BE LET TO GO! I WOULD ADVISE YOU TO DO THAT OR RISK JAIL TIME!
