  • Do you have to give police your name in Florida?
    Florida’s Stop and Identify statute (Fla. Stat. §901.151) allows a police officer to detain you to ascertain your identity if they reasonably suspect you are committing, have committed, or are about to commit a crime. In such a situation, you are required to truthfully state your name.

  • What are the consequences of a DUI conviction?
    A DUI conviction in Florida can result in serious penalties including license suspension, hefty fines, probation, mandatory community service, vehicle impoundment, and even jail time. The exact consequences depend on your blood alcohol level, whether it’s your first offense, and if there was any property damage or injuries.
  • What is the 3 felony rule in Florida?
    The “Three Strikes Law” in Florida, more formally known as the Habitual Felony Offender law, provides for enhanced penalties for individuals who have been convicted of any combination of three or more felonies, certain violent crimes, or qualifying offenses. It’s intended to deter repeat offenders by imposing severe consequences for multiple felony convictions.
  • How long can you be detained for in Florida?
    If you’re arrested, you must be taken before a judge within 24 hours for a first appearance, where your bail will be determined and you’ll be informed of the charges against you. If you’re simply being detained (and not formally arrested), there’s no set time limit for how long you can be held, but it should only be long enough for the police to investigate the suspected crime.
