The supervised individual may waive this hearing only if she or he admits to one or more violations of their supervision. See Rule 5.108(b), also Sanders v. Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, 958 A.2d 582 (2008). Waiving the probable cause hearing has dual implications. Firstly, it means the supervised individual forfeits the right to an on-site hearing where the receiving state must present evidence of the violations. Secondly, and more significantly, by waiving the hearing, the supervised individual implicitly acknowledges that their actions could warrant revocation of supervised release if they were solely under the jurisdiction of the receiving state.

The critical elements of such a waiver are:

1. The supervised individual is apprised of the right to a probable cause hearing;
2. The supervised individual is apprised of the facts and circumstances supporting their retaking;
3. The supervised individual is apprised that by waiving the right to a hearing, he or she is also waiving the right to contest the facts and circumstances supporting their retaking;
4. The supervised individual admits in writing to one or more violations of their supervision; and,
5. The supervised individual is apprised in writing that by admitting to the offenses, the supervised release may be revoked by the sending state based on the admissions.
