The right to be brought in front of a magistrate within 48 hours is for new charges, not for motions to revoke probation. Did they really file a MTR because you were behind on fees & fines? They could have just extended your probation to let you continue to pay or unsatisfactorily terminated the probation. If truly that is all there is to the MTR, that is ridiculous.
