Legal Question in Criminal Law in Indiana

Re: Sentencing and various states

Should you fail to complete your community service work, probation will most likely file a violation of probation with the court. This along with any failure on your part to appear to answer to this will no doubt result in a warrant issued for your arrest. This will remain active until apprehended. Even if in another state, a simple traffic stop may result in a search for open warrants. This process is computerized for law enforcement nation wide. The result could be arrest with that state notifying Indiana so you may be returned if it is so desired.The smarter way to go is to either quickly complete the csw or talk to your probation officer. It may be posiible to transfer probation or at least complete your cws obligation in the new state providing verification of this. A court order may be necessary to transfer probation.
