You could have done it the correct way by having your probation transferred to IL. But you ran and did not face your responsibities. Now you want sympathy for your "life problems." Grow up and face it like a man.
What could happen is that you are arrested and brought back to PA. That depends what you are on probation for.
You may also be arrested each time you get stopped by the police and held until PA says they will not extradite. Do you really want to go through the hassle each time? Sure you could explain it to the officer, but he won't care. You'll sit in jail till PA responds about the extradition.
Go back to PA turn yourself in and work it out with the probation officer. It's time to grow up junior. |

Don't get pulled over for a speeding ticket...
Because Illinois will extradite your butt right back to a nice jail cell in PA for failing to meet the terms of your probation.

Oh well, I hope you like jail. Bench warrents are nothing to screw around with. |

Here's what will happen:
You will become a wanted person, they will track where your family lives and they will arrest you in Illinois and ship you back to PA where you will sit the remainder of your sentence in jail or prison.
Running from the law never works. In time you will be apprehended and put in jail. Better to turn yourself in then to be arrested. |

You ARE going to get caught & WILL go to jail. Listen to your PO! |

Yes they can arrest you. You need to report back to PA and request a transfer of your probation to Illinois. |

If a warrant is issued for probation violation you can be arrested and extradited back. They will most likely not "hunt" you but if they know where you are they might send the local law officers to pick you up. Otherwise you might just fail to stop sign, be stopped for the violation and then arrested on the outstanding warrant. |

If you left the state without telling the PO you will have a bench warrant and she was warning you if you go back on your own she could go lesser on you. If not and you get yourself in trouble they will find out because they run a background check on you and your coming back to PA. So you see you may want to start over but any arrest/ Probation will haunt you wherever you go until you have done your part. |

Go back to PA and finish your probation. That's the easiest way to get the legal problems off your back forever. |

How can you start over if you do not face the consequences of what you have done before?? Face your problem like an honorable person. Stand up and take your medicine. THEN and only then can you start fresh. If you don't, and you have any kind of conscience, then it will be there festering within you forever. |

You need a travel pass just to leave the state. They may come arrest you, but i guarantee if you get stopped by police you will be arrested. You need to go back to Pennsylvania and explain your situation face to face. Then you could request a travel pass, come to Illinois to get a job, and a stable place to stay, then you have to get approved for an interstate-transfer. If this happened you would be under Illinois supervision. You are in violation right now just by being here (I'm in Chicago). If you go back quickly your p.o. might not violate you for it. If you stay, you'll be on the run, catch a new case and violate--It's not worth it. |

You will go to jail. You need to go back to PA. Talk to probation officer let her give you ideas on what you can do legally. Move to another city or town, get a job, keep your nose clean and eventually things will get better. |

well that depends on what you were on probation for. if it was not a felony you will probly not be found on the ncic computer but if it was you would be found anytime the police run your name thru the computer. in louisiana the probatio and parole office has 2 local and state. the state are more to get you where you are found and the local will say no. it all comes down to whether the state that you are on probation wants to spend the money to bring you back. |

Wrong thing to do. Never ignore a bench warrant, they will come back to haunt you. Take if from someone who was picked up the first day of a new job because I chose to ignore the bench warrant. Even if you apply for a drivers license, the law will know where you are, they will let you establish yourself, and choose the worst time for you to inforce the law. Come home and answer the warrant, when that is off of your shoulders, then you can go to Illinois and anjoy time with your family. If you get probation, your probation can even be transferred to Illinois. |

You should have stayed in PA, because now you've violated your probation, which means you're up the creek without a paddle, now. No, you can't start over there.
All US states recognize warrants in other states, and while local law enforcement may not know of your past, a quick phone call from your probation officer will have them at your door to get you back to where you belong.
Don't ignore your probation officer! |

Sorry pal, there will be a bench warrant issued for you, and it can be served anywhere in the USA. Looks like some jail time when they catch up to you. |

My boyfriend is on probation in PA for misdemeanor, such as receiving stolen property. He doesn't have much time left until his probation is over. He was pulled over yesterday by the police in VA because we didn't have our front license plate on the car...just on the back of the car. When they entered his name into the computer, a warrant came up for parole violation in PA. He chose to sign a waiver of extradition..and PA has until Feb. 23rd to come get him from VA. Is there anything the PO can do? Can she lift his violation since his offense was petty? |
