Q: Arrested and serve time in a state you don't reside in. Do you HAVE to do probation in that state?
My Uncle resides in NY, and is serving time in Florida. He wrote me and said that he may get out soon and says he has to do 3 years probation in Florida, and told him it can't be transfer to NY. How can they make to stay in a state you don't reside in?
A: Because probation is a substitute for doing the time in prison, also in Florida. Which would he rather do?
