    What are the rules according law about probation?
    This is a question that concerns probation. Primarily, I want to know who or what agency sets the rules and guidelines for probation. If a person isn't given jail time in lieu of probation. What is the rules of determining of probation. Do you have to report every week to a probation officer if you haven't never been in jail?

    Generally probationers report once a month to their PO. It is basically irrelevant who sets the rules and guidelines for probation as they are set by each state. A lot of the probation rules are basically the same though.

    Why are you asking this? Are you hoping somehow to have some "special" dispensations accorded to you while you are on probation? Sorry, won't happen.

    Hello boy:

    The probation rules aren't different for people who HAVE been in jail and for those who HAVEN'T been. Who sets them?? The head of the probation department.

    What you HAVE to do, is follow the rules THEY set, even though those rules might be silly... WHY do you have to do that?? Because they have really BIG guns.

    Yes, and they don't really care one iota about what the little person on probation has to say about the rules if they like them or if they are fair.

    The person just has to follow them to a T or sit for awhile in jail and think it over.
