WERE YOU LEGALLY STOPPED?

The law specifically outlines what the police must observe before they can pull you over. Sometimes people are pulled over before their actions actually amount to a traffic infraction. Depending on the individual facts of your case, the police may not have been legally allowed to stop you. If so, the initial stop can be challenged which could result in a DISMISSAL of your charge.

CAN THEY PROVE IT?

The law only requires a police officer to have Probable Cause to arrest someone. But, the State of Florida must prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt in order to support a conviction. Although the police may have had enough evidence to issue you a citation, the prosecution may not have enough evidence to convict you. It is important to consult with an experienced attorney before pleading to a crime.
