Legal Question in Juvenile Dependency in Florida
Civil Infractions (noncriminal violations)
I am doing leagl research and a case I am researching is a state of Florida noncriminal violation (civil infraction) charge of possession of tobacco by a minor. The disposition was civil penalty closed. Is this disposition a non-conviction? Is civil penalty closed the same as dimissed with cost?
There is no area of law that deals with this question so I placed it under Juvenile Dependency considering the charge.

Different clerks' offices throughout the state put different things in the computer, so it's not always easy to tell what they mean when they place and a notation. My hunch is that the case was not dismissed, but concluded by payment of a fine.
