Criminal Traffic Violations

A criminal traffic violation is issued in a case in which a person is suspected of committing a traffic violation which is punishable as a misdemeanor offense. A driver can be arrested when charged with a criminal traffic offense.

County Criminal

County Criminal maintains the records of all misdemeanor arrests, certain civil infractions like boating and wildlife violations and municipal ordinance violations and is part of the Traffic/Misdemeanor Division.

Issued citations are reported to other states, therefore citations received in the County may affect the records of driver licenses issued in other states. If you need a clearance for a citation, you may call (305) 275-1111 to obtain a clearance. A $7 fee will be charged.

If you live outside the State of Florida or the United States, it is advisable to check online periodically until the information is in the system. Use the information pamphlet given to you by the officer for assistance.
