Library coverage & search tips

What the count means

Each card is a searchable reference. Some cards cover different alternatives within the same statute; others describe procedure or route you to a local code. Counts are not the number of distinct statutes or a claim of complete coverage.

The 4.3 content expansion added 30 Florida offense cards, bringing the library to 246 cards: 233 Florida and 13 Miami-Dade. New topics include bribery and justice offenses, vessel incidents, child reporting, contractor licensing, gambling, weapons and specialist fraud. Existing county references remain available; this release adds no county ordinances. Earlier material retains its review status.

Plain English explanations

Every card has a separate Plain English section. These are AI-written editorial explanations in everyday language, not quoted statutory text or an official legal interpretation. Read the requirements, distinctions and complete official provision together. Explanations do not replace case law, jury instructions, defenses or agency legal review.

Read the requirements guide

Version 4.4 replaces nested logic lines with numbered requirements and flat alternative routes. Every numbered requirement applies. Where alternatives appear, meet every bullet in one complete route. Requirements shared by every route appear once above the choices.

For example, domestic battery separates the battery requirement from the qualifying relationship requirement. Aggravated battery separates the base battery from the qualifying circumstance. The underlying legal wording and logical combinations are unchanged.

The guide summarizes selected statutory routes, not complete jury instructions. Grade facts, exceptions, defenses and controlling law need separate review. Reference cards show applicability notes. Earlier material retains its editorial review status.

County scope and verification

County rule summaries cover park litter, glass containers on covered beaches, vending, alcohol, water pollution and wildlife. Routing references include noise, dog control, tethering, illegal dumping, disabled parking, park hours and camping. Some sources are official guidance or adopted historical records; a checked source date does not mean all later amendments were ruled out.

Local cards do not supply a verified criminal/civil remedy. Confirm the current codified text, territorial scope, authorized enforcement personnel, exceptions and remedy. County park rules require county facility jurisdiction. Individual city codes are not included.

Search everyday descriptions

• “property, damage, break” → criminal mischief; “broke into car” → burglary.
• “scratched paint on neighbors truck,” “baby without car seat,” or “tailgating.”
• “pulled fire alarm as a prank,” “adult allowed teen drinking party,” or “dog fighting ring.”
• “selling merchandise in county park,” “county dog tethering,” or “dumped mattress on vacant lot.”
• Enter a citation such as 316.305, 15-6, or 26-1 Rule 33. Clear filters if a result is hidden.

Every card has everyday search phrases. The 4.3 release passes 914 desktop/browser retrieval checks, including 90 descriptions and 30 additional phrasing variants for the new cards. These development cases are not an independent legal accuracy guarantee. Search weighs wording, word order, subject context and conservative spelling assistance locally. Dollar amounts and measurement ranges are separated from code-number lookup. It does not reliably interpret arbitrary negation, calculate an offense grade from amounts or ages, or determine whether facts satisfy an offense. Try the main act, object and location.

Still outside this library

Complete Florida and county codes; individual municipal ordinances; federal offenses; every administrative, wildlife, environmental, licensing or specialty offense; comprehensive case law and jury instructions. No result does not mean no relevant law exists. New content and summaries still need agency legal review.

Coverage by category

Cards can appear in multiple categories, so category totals overlap.
