Is there a time where they just drop the probation since the person has not been in any trouble since? If there is a warrent is it a Body Warrent or Bench Warrent? What should this person do in this matter?

Yes. There will be a warrant. No they won't drop it just because the person has not met up with a member of law enforcement. Someday, somewhere, this person will be stopped while driving for some obscure violation, and BINGO ... warrant appears and person is back behind bars.
Take your choice. Do I come clean now and take my consequences, or wait until I am caught. Find a good lawyer and discuss how to best present yourself to probation officers.
good luck.

Well in 1989 I got busted selling pot ata Grateful Dead concert in Cinncinnati, I had less than an ounce but I was selling it. I was sentenced to 6 months in prison, 1 year "on the shelf", 3 years probation, and a $1000 dollar fine. I did the 6 months and left and never went back.
In 2002 I was busted in Virginia growing marijuana. When I was finished with my sentence in Virginia, the State of Ohio came and got me. They brought me to Cinncinnati where they had lost most of the records. They had no record of me serving the 6 months. I still had coppies of the documentation. After arguing with the judge for an hour that I could not possibly have fabricated the documents and that since it had been 13 years that he should sentnce me apporpriatly. He sentenced me to 1 year gave me some time served and sent me back to prison for 54 days. When I had 23 days left my mother died.
That was 13 years.
So long story, short: there is a warrent for your arrest what kind it would be depends on the local custom. You should get an attourney if you can afford one and turn your self in. If you turn yourself in they may be more lenient with you. Good luck.

at the same time as a probationer is listed as an absconder his/her probation is tolled and a warrant, it is an order to deliver the body of the guy in the front of the courtroom, is issued. proceed with existence as they have been, through operating and hiding from duty. No a warrant gained't bypass away, it is going to likely be there till the guy deals with it or the guy dies. it is not any matter if it is probation on a legal offense. no matter if it is a few bs municipal courtroom probation the position you had to bypass meet with a city probation officer over a misdemeanor then they might issue a warrant yet extraditions can no longer boost outside of the state. yet no matter if that is the legal, you need to ask the guy how lengthy do they imagine they could run.

If it was unsupervised probation all they had to do was report when they were first sentenced. Then just stay out of trouble. If they have never, ever reported than they are in trouble. They are best off getting some legal advice and dealing with this matter ASAP.
