What is the penalty for violating by not reporting?

The probation officer can violate your probation, that means he issues a warrant for your arrest, and you will be arrested and held in a probation detention center or your county jail pending a probation hearing before the judge. There the judge will decide if you need to spend some time in jail for missing the meetings, or if your entire probation needs to be revolked and you need to just speed the entire time in jail

Remember probation is time to serve on probation instead of jail, so if you get it revolked, you will spend the entire time in jail instead of probation. So if you have 3 years probation, and you just will not go to meetings, the judge can just send you to jail ( prison) for 3 years instead.

Or more depending on how the probation effects your points. Good answer!

If you are on probation for aggrevated assault and then you break into someone's house, the police arrive but the people living there don't press charges, can you still be arrested?

Hello k:

Yes, you can. The police don't need to resident to press charges. They can do it on their own.
