RULE 6.160. PRACTICE AS IN CRIMINAL RULES

Except as provided, the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure
shall govern this part. A defendant shall be considered “taken into
custody” for the purpose of rule 3.191 when the defendant is
arrested, or when a traffic citation, notice to appear, summons,
information, or indictment is served on the defendant in lieu of
arrest.

Committee Notes
1988 Amendment. The purpose of the change was to make clear that
both pretrial and trial procedures, under this part, are governed by the Florida
Rules of Criminal Procedure, unless there is a conflict. The previous rule had
only applied to “trial” — and the committee felt that pretrial and post-trial
procedures should also apply.
