Dixon v. Florida
Florida District Court of Appeal
812 So. 2d 595 (2002)
- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
Facts
Richard Dixon (defendant) was pulled over and provided a fake name to the police officer. The officer issued a citation under the fake name, and Dixon signed the citation using the fake name. After the State of Florida (plaintiff) discovered that Dixon had given a fake name, it charged Dixon with forgery. Dixon filed a motion in limine to exclude the citation from evidence under a Florida law that stated that traffic citations were not admissible evidence in any trial. The trial court denied the motion and convicted Dixon. Dixon appealed.
