Re: Vop

VOP stands for Violation of Probation. This happens when a person is on probation and somehow violates the terms of probation, by failing a drug test or being charged with a new offense. As an illegal, you and your friend can be deported if either of you are sentenced to more than 12 months.

VOP means your friend has violated the terms of his probation. You should either hire an attorney or ask for a public defender. If you want to talk to my criminal associate, his name is Musa Ghanayem and he can be reached at 631.612.6872.
