Fla. R. Traf. Ct. 6.090
Direct and Indirect Criminal Contempt
Direct and indirect criminal contempt shall be proceeded upon
in the same manner as in the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure.
A traffic hearing officer does not have the power to hold any
person in contempt of court, but is permitted to file a verified
motion for order of contempt befor any state trial court judge of the
same county in which the alleged contempt occurred. Such matter
must be handled as an indirect contempt of court under the
provisions of Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.840.
History
Committee Notes 1988 Amendment. The change from the word “punished” to the words “proceeded upon” were needed to make clear that the Committee intended to follow the procedure as outlined in Rule 3.830 and Rule 3.840, Criminal Procedure Rules. Those rules are procedural and contain no penalties.
