Can they file a violation, the answer is Yes. On the other hand, if this is the only basis for the violation of probation, and there are no other infractions, it is possible to argue this as a technical violation which can result in no additional sanction. I suggest that you need to consult with an experienced criminal defense lawyer admitted to practice law in NJ before you go before the Judge. Good luck.
