Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

violaton of probation

i was put on felony probation for habitual traffic offender. After the conviction one of the driving charges was dropped and the state of florida changed my status and allowed to get my drivers license. While on probation my officer violated me for not paying all fees and not attending drug counseling. shouldnt my probation have been terminated since i am no longer considered a hto offender?

However, it would likely be good mitigation at a VOP.
