This means that if the accused has a history of non-compliance with legal procedures or has violated the terms of their release before, they cannot be issued a notice to appear and must go through a different process.

    According to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.125, a "notice to appear" is a written order that may be issued by a law enforcement officer in lieu of physical arrest requiring a person accused of violating the law to appear in court at a specified date and time. This means that instead of immediately arresting the person, the officer can issue a notice to appear, which serves as a summons for the accused to appear in court. This allows for a more efficient and streamlined process, especially for minor offenses, without the need for an immediate physical arrest.

    Explanation
    Parking in a Firelane is not a misdemeanor exception because it is a violation of traffic laws and regulations. Misdemeanor exceptions typically refer to specific offenses that are considered less serious than felonies, such as transit fare evasion, domestic violence, or violation of an injunction for protection. These exceptions are typically categorized as misdemeanors, which are criminal offenses punishable by fines, probation, or short-term imprisonment. However, parking in a firelane is not typically considered a misdemeanor exception as it is a traffic violation rather than a criminal offense.

Petit theft, on the other hand, refers to the theft of property valued below a certain threshold, and is typically classified as a misdemeanor offense.
