If you wish to move to another state in this country but you are on probation, you need to get pernission from the probation department that you report to as well as a court order allowing such. If approved you will be ordered to report to a new probation department in the state and locality that you desire to move to.
For what you want to accomplish, I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney to assist you in your endeavor.
