A person who is charged with a violation of the terms of his probation agreement may be confused and upset.
He may feel as though he was doing his best to comply with the agreement into which he entered, but something happened that was beyond the defendant’s control, which made complete compliance impossible.

Individuals who are on probation must abide by the terms of their probation agreements. These terms often include meeting with probation officers at regular intervals, refraining from violating the law, completing community service, pursuing educational opportunities, completing counseling, submitting to drug testing, and paying fines. Probation agreements vary from person to person, but all individuals who are on probation are required to comply with the terms of their unique probation agreements. Any failure to do so is considered a violation of probation, which is a crime.
