One of the terms of bail is that you cannot leave the state of Illinois without permission from the court.
To obtain permission to leave the state of Illinois, your attorney will ask the court to allow you to leave the state. Your attorney must provide the judge with the reason for your travel and the exact dates you will be outside of the state of Illinois. The court will rate travel for work more favorably than travel for pleasure. If the trip is for a holiday, as counsel I would inform the judge that the trip was planned and paid for before the arrest (bail) was taken (while it was).
Can someone leave the state on parole?
In the case of a suspended sentence, in most cases the conviction has already resulted in the arrestee serving a time in state prison.
This means that there may or may not be an increased flight risk associated with this person. This means that if they are allowed to leave the state unsupervised, they are likely to violate probation and go into hiding to avoid the remainder of their probation or subsequent jail time.
How do you get a travel permit during the probationary period?
If you wish to travel during your probationary period, you must first contact your probation officer. You must explain the situation and reason for your trip. This is especially true when it comes to work or an emergency.
If you are considered a fugitive and your probation officer is concerned that you may attempt to flee or commit another crime, you are unlikely to be admitted.
Special Terms of Probation You May Be Subject to in Illinois
In addition to the general terms of probation above, special terms may be imposed by the court depending on the circumstances of your case.
Common examples of special probation periods are:
What if I have a family emergency?
If you have had to leave the state due to a family emergency and did not obtain early court approval, it is important to discuss the situation with your attorney. You may be able to ask the court to lift the order against you so that you can remain free until your case is closed.
It is important to understand the terms of your link and not violate them in any way. If you have questions or are looking for exceptions, your attorney will advise you on the best way to proceed.
