yes they can, you need to talk with your PO as to why you can't and prove to them that it is of no fault of your own. That you are working or trying to find work, that you did not get fired from your last job for something you did, and that you are working on a proper budget to try and pay them.
But it will be up to the judge as to what they will do
Didn't a newbie come up with a law about restitution a short time ago??? Didn't it say that you can't be jailed for not paying it, IF you did everything in your capacity to actually pay it????
I think so, and I'll bet it applies to fines too. Why wouldn't it? After all, we DON'T have a debtors prison anymore.
I see the distinction... But in terms of the law the newbie cited, I don't see a difference. They're BOTH debts imposed as a result of a criminal conviction.
If one is excused because it can't be paid, why not the other?
I know they serve different purposes, but from the perspective of the debtor, they're the same thing with different names. In terms of the law, I suggest it makes NO difference, or at least it SHOULDN'T.
I WOULD like to see some law here. Where's Judy? Or maybe you can find the post. If I had the name of the law he cited, I could, hopefully, find out some stuff.
