		<description><![CDATA[Florida courts often give someone convicted of a crime the probation or community control instead of jail time. Probation is granted with the understanding that the convicted person will abide by the terms and requirements of the court, and in Florida, these can often be strict.

		<description><![CDATA[Misconceptions abound about the controversial Stand Your Ground law in Florida — and the national publicity surrounding the tragic Trayvon Martin case — have only confused matters further. Stand Your Ground evolved out of the Castle Doctrine, which permits people to use deadly force to defend themselves against an assailant in their own home, with...  <a href="http://www.givethemthebyrd.com/blog/the-truth-about-standing-your-ground/">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An article in a South Florida newspaper reported that legal actions resulting from schoolyard fights are rare, quoting a school board official as saying that matters are usually resolved before things get that far. The date of the article: February 1991. A lot has changed in the 20-plus years since that article ran.

		<description><![CDATA[If a police officer pulls your car over and requests that you submit to a Breathalyzer® test, can you say no? The answer is, well, yes and no. You can always refuse to take a breath test, and no one can force you to do it. (Unless you happen to be unconscious.
