No. False. At some point in the past - when you didn't report to your probation officer, didn't pay your fines/fees, or didn't do something else you were supposed to have done as a condition of your probation - a revocation petition to was filed. If not, just prior to the end of your probation a review will take place to see if you have satisfied all the conditions and if not, a petition will be filed. A warrant of arrest will then be issued. Once that happens probation is "tolled," which means that the time will not run out. You will either have to go to court to clear this up (perhaps, face some additional punishment) or be arrested sooner or later on that warrant (what happens to most people who abscond). If probation just ended everyone would ignore it and simply let it expire. That doesn't make any sense, does it?
