In Florida, a traffic crash frequently cannot be proven by the police officer. This means that if the witnesses to a traffic crash aren’t located or simply do not come to court, the case will usually be dismissed.
An officer who took the police report can not testify in the case because all of his knowledge of the accident is based upon second hand information. While there is an exception for the rule that states that a defendant’s statements can be used against him, these statements usually fall under Florida’s accident privilege.
