What is a VOP Warrant?

VIOLATION OF PROBATION WARRANT:

A Violation of Probation Warrant is an arrest warrant that can be issued for violations of the conditions of probation as quickly as the same day as the violation. In some cases, warrants may take a day or two to issue. A probation officer must prepare all necessary documents and refer the issue to the prosecutor in order to get the arrest warrant.

TRANSCRIPT:

If someone has been arrested in Florida on a Violation of Probation warrant, it means the probation officer has sent a warrant to the judge, the judge has signed it saying they have violated your probation.

If it’s a technical violation, that means there’s no new crime.

We can often have the judge release the Defendant on a low bond or perhaps even released on their own recognizance, depending on the circumstances.

If it’s a new crime, we can challenge the probable cause on that, so just because a Defendant has a violation of probation warrant doesn’t mean that their no bond is going to remain that way.

We’ve often been able to get clients out of custody on low bonds or none, even on a violation of probation (VOP) warrant.
