Is it legal for ha PO to extend a release date even if it isn’t relevant to the original charge?
I’m a minor who is currently on probation for a misdamenor charge for possession of marijuana. My release date is in about 10 days but my probation officer says she is going to have my probation extended because I won’t have my classes (online/home school) done by the release date. Is there anyway that I can fight it and get released on the original set date?

Whether your probabtion office can extend the time for your release date depends upon what the terms and conditions of your probation state. If you are required to have your online home school completed and up to date but such has not happened, then you could be in violation of your probation which results in an extension of your release date.
