Re: Probation laws

If you are on probation and do not finish all your community service, then you haven't completed all the terms of your probation and revocation is a possibility. However, there are other options, such as terminating your probation unsatisfactorily or extending your probation to allow you more time to finish the community service. Sometimes you can buy out your community service with such things as donations to certain charities. The most important factor is to keep reporting regularly to the probation officer and don't allow any other terms of probation to be violated.
