Q: In 2010 I plea guilty too delay or damage of mail. I was stop by cops and they couldn’t see I was on probation.
My probation officer said because they didn’t have me in the system. Can they put me in the system after months of being on probation
A:
If you pleaded guilty to a federal offense in 2010 and were subsequently placed on probation, it's possible that your probation officer may have needed some time to process your case and update the system with your probation status. The probation process typically involves administrative procedures and paperwork, which may take some time to complete.
During this period, it's essential to comply with all probation requirements, such as reporting to your probation officer and following any conditions or restrictions imposed by the court. It's not uncommon for there to be some delay in updating the system, but this should not affect your responsibility to fulfill the terms of your probation.
If you have concerns or questions about your probation status or any conditions imposed, it's advisable to communicate directly with your probation officer or seek legal advice from an attorney experienced in federal criminal matters. They can provide guidance specific to your situation and help ensure that you meet all your probation obligations while addressing any administrative delays in the system.
