Is it Ga law that someone is to have a revocation hearing within 60 days from the arrest date or the case is to be dismissed for lack of speedy trail as this is a violation of someone sixth amendment right, also that a person can only be held for a total of 180 days before they have to be released
answered on Jun 5, 2020
No and no, there is no set statutory time period for a person to have a probation revocation hearing. It must be within "a reasonable time". There is no speedy trial for revocation. The 180 days to be released I believe has to do with interstate detainers not probation revocations.

I have no idea what a Code 648B is? I would ignore anything you received by phone. If it is a law enforcement investigation they will certainly provide you their name and contact information if they wanted to talk to you about an investigation. Do not give out any personal information.

It is illegal to use any threatening language of any kind towards a person in the state of Georgia. You could face possible charges such as terroristic threats or harassing communication.
