Florida Armed Robbery Laws<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Robbery is a unique crime, apart from burglary<\/a> or theft<\/a>, because it involves the presence of a victim during the actual act of stealing. Armed robbery describes the use of a weapon (carrying, brandishing, or using) to commit the crime. The use of force, violence, assault<\/a>, or intimidation are all factors that are considered during the prosecution and sentencing of an accused person. The presence of a deadly weapon often indicates a first-degree felony charge, punishable by imprisonment. Florida law also describes the crime of strong-arm robbery, where the use of force is involved. If evidence of weapon use is inadequate, it is common for a first-degree felony charge to be knocked down to a second-degree robbery crime in Broward County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
