What to do about the end of my probation and an apointment schedled for after I’m off?
I am on probation for 1 year. The year ends in 5 days. I still owe money for fines and probation fess. During my last appointment with my PO he didn’t notice my probation period nearing its end and gave me an appointment for 8 days after my probation expires. At this time I have not heard about my probation being extended. Do I need to make it to this appoinment? Can my probation be violated or extended after the probation expires?

Under the laws of all states in this coutnry, one is on probation for a criminal offense per a court order until a new court order is issued ending the probationary period.
I suggest that you attend the probation meeting that is eight (8) days after your one (1) year probationary period since you are still on probation. Failure to do so could have serious negative results as to you and your future.
