Q: Can probation hold my license hostage even tho I had a probation revoked, finishing my time in jail
Probation being revoked states the case goes back to original sentencing. Even if I was on probation the court would be the one to order my license being held. I've talked to 2 supervisors at probation and they are holding my license and will not show proof of why after years this is being brought up. I even went to court in 2018 for 9 months due to neglect of paperwork. The probation officer " forgot " she already violated me I severed time from 2014-June 24 2016 to time served, she then reviolated me even tho I was no longer on probation. Since June 2024 I've been trying to get my license and I'm still being treated like I'm on probation. How is this legal. County court sentenced me probation needs to follow that sentencing.

A: Your lawyer should write a letter to the judge and ask him/her to order probation to return your license. You may also be able to clear your license with the DMV and simply get a new license from them if your statutory revocation period has ended and you are no longer on probation supervision.
