Legal Question in Traffic Law in Florida

My daughter sped through a doctor's office parking lot. She reached a dirt parking lot and her back tail fished unintentionally while trying to pull out. She ran a stop sign. She was in a hurry trying to take her son the urgent care but was at the wrong building and the parking lot was a maze of dead ends. The security officer tried to to stop her but she panicked and left. It's been a couple of days since, and we took her license away when she told us. But we are worried the officer is going to tattle tale to the police department if they caught her on survillance. she has a clean record and is 28 with two kids. Can action be taken on her through third person, or does a cop have to be there to cite her. We don't want her to go to jail for reckless driving.

It's unlikely anything will happen if you haven't heard from the police for a couple days since the incident. At this point, do what you need to do with your daughter and move on. If, by chance, an officer calls, make sure to say NOTHING other than to ask for a lawyer, and then contact one.
