    If you just move they will revolk your probation and put a warrant out for your arrest, that warrant will stay valid forever.

    So while they may not come and get you, you will never get off probation and always show a warrant till you are caught close enough to them.

    Most likely you will end up serving the 3 years in prison instead of probation

    You need to read the sticky posted by Excon in the Criminal section about having your probation transferred to a different state and follow this advice to the letter. Having your probation transferred is much preferable than having a warrant issued any day.
