Want to point a finger gun at a police officer? Don’t do it
in Miami Dade. Three judges ruled that Florida Statute 836.12 is
constitutional. The law states that “Any person who threatens a law enforcement
officer, a state attorney, an assistant state attorney, a firefighter, a judge,
or an elected official, or a family member of such persons, with death or
serious bodily harm commits a misdemeanor of the first degree” If you do it
again, it becomes a 3rd degree felony. The case in Miami involved a man pointing a finger gun at
the officer and stating, “I got you now.” The officer had “run-ins” with the
man in the past and stated she felt threatened.
Contact Fort Lauderdale Criminal Attorney Gary Cole at 954-462-4600 if you or someone you know has been arrested for threatening a police officer.
