What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

Hello

I have been on US Probation for NON violent and NON drug crime since June 2009.

I was told yesterday by my PO that since I applied for a car loan (expensive car) without telling him that I violated my terms. I was shocked as I never saw that paper (the paper noting that I must let them know b4 I can apply for a loan), and yes I signed for it but never got it and told him that I am sure it was my fault and I did receive it and must have lost it.

But I know in my heart I only received one page and that was the standard cookie cutter terms, but I did not want to upset him. And had I had it I would have abided by it...as my goal from day one is to be perfect and not make any mistakes.

Anyways he mentioned he may report it to the courts, or he may not, he than says it a warning...than says just don't do it again, I kinna got mixed messages, etc... I just don't want to go to jail

I like him and he is nice to me but wondering why no straight answer, I have been trying to be perfect at probation and get these 3 years done...any thoughts?

Thank you

It is YOUR responsibility to know your probation terms

In the future be SURE you are crystal clear about your terms

Failing to receive notice would NOT be a defense.

I have been on US Probation for NON violent and NON drug crime since June 2009.
I read this to mean you committed a economic crime that rose to the level of a federal charge?

Of course you need to clear ALL your financial dealings with your PO...

Could it be you were on probation for some sort of fraud or obtaining money under false pretenses? Request that you're p.o. send you a document that has precise terms of probation. I get the impression since you eluded to the exact reason as to why you are on probation, maybe you had an idea this could be a problem. Be careful this is not a situation in which you should choose to play games. P.o.'s lack any sense of humor and tend not to believe in honest mistakes.goodluck.
