If you are planning to drink this holiday season in Tampa Bay, be careful. Know that in Florida you can face legal consequences for driving with a blood alcohol content even below the legal limit of .08.
Knowing the limits of proper police conduct can mean the difference between a conviction and an acquittal. Learn what constitutes illegal search and seizure in Florida, as well as unlawful police behavior.
If you have been taken in custody by police without any charges, you are probably asking yourself "Can police detain me legally without a warrant?"
Resisting arrest in Florida comes with serious consequences. Acquiring legal defense early in the process will help your criminal defense lawyer negotiate with the prosecution to have the sentence reduced or charges dropped altogether.
According to Florida State Law, fleeing and eluding occurs when an officer of the law requests an individual to pull over their vehicle and that individual refuses or fails to stop. This crime can also occur when an individual stops their vehicle and then runs on foot in order to evade a police officer. Learn what these charges mean and how you can defend against them.
The right against self-incrimination basically states that you don't have to talk about your case or testify on your behalf. When one "pleads the 5th", the burden is then put on the state to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Your miranda rights are built on the 5th Amendment as a method to help protect those rights.
