Arrested for improper exhibition of a weapon?
If you own a weapon, the state of Florida strictly regulates how and when you may use or showcase that weapon. If you brandish your weapon in a rude, angry or aggressive manner, you can be arrested and charged with a first-degree misdemeanor. The statute is written very broadly, so that displaying your weapon in any fashion other than self defense may result in your arrest. This makes the police officer's subjective judgment paramount in the case , opening many avenues for abuses. However, a smart Fort Lauderdale improper exhibition of a weapon criminal defense lawyer knows this also opens many avenues for possible criminal defense. Come to Seltzer Law, PA for the help of an attorney and former Miami-Dade Cyber Crime Prosecutor who will fight to help you resolve the charges against you.
