In Re Amendments to the Florida Rules of Traffic Court

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida declined to adopt either proposed model colloquy informing traffic‑infraction defendants of their self‑incrimination privilege, and adopted an amendment to Rule 6.630 requiring traffic hearing officers to receive training on that constitutional right. The Court reasoned that the lack of clear case law made a uniform colloquy premature, while training would address the concern without increasing litigation.
