Supreme Court of Florida

A state law stating that "citations shall not be admissible evidence in any trial" was intended to apply only in connection with matters directly associated with the substance of the charge upon which the citation was issued, a traffic infraction. A certified conflict is resolved regarding forged traffic citation cases by disapproval of the decision in Dixon v. State, 812 So. 2d 595 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002) in favor of Maddox v. State, 862 So. 2d 783 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003).
