Can we arrest you for a probation violation?

No, the probationer must be "cited" into court for a show cause hearing or probation violation. We cannot violate on an anonymous phone call. We can violate if the person calling wishes to come in and testify to what they have actually seen. A violation hearing only needs to be proven 51%, not by overwhelming evidence or proof that would be needed in a criminal trial.
