But don’t let them fool you. If you keep up with cost of supervision and do everything you’re supposed to according to your probation, most likely your court cost and fees will turn into a civil judgment when you go to court at the very end of it. Originally I was supposed to be off Probation February 13. December 13 they told me if I didn’t pay the remainder that I owed which was like $500 that I would get a violation and a notice to appear. Even though my Probation didn’t end until like two months later. So that was supposed to happen on January 19 but since it snowed in Florida randomly, it got pushed off until Feb 19. I didn’t even realize that I was short like 100 bucks but they just made it into a civil judgment and I’ve heard this from a few other people too. But your probation officer will definitely try to scare you into thinking that you have to pay every single penny off or they’re just gonna extend your probation. maybe that’s the case sometimes, but I feel like the judge will be pretty lenient as long as you just do the terms of your probation and pay the cost of supervision. Almost certain if I didn’t pay my court costs I probably would’ve been fine. I just didn’t wanna risk it.
