Florida law now classifies 26 specific offenses as "dangerous crimes," requiring stricter pretrial detention protocols. If you are charged with a qualifying offense, such as carjacking or certain firearm crimes, the state may file a motion for pretrial detention, leading to the hearing. During this hearing, a skilled legal representative will challenge the state’s evidence and argue against permanent detention, seeking to secure your release while your case moves through the Broward County court system.
