549 So.2d at 763. In reaching this conclusion, the Third District and trial court relied upon two rules of construction. First, the district court found that section

...(5), Fla. Stat. Reasoning that traffic offenses were not "under [Marine Patrol] jurisdiction," the district court affirmed the trial court on another matter. In its order, the trial court had found that section 370.021 was a general statute and that section 316.640 was a specific statute....
...Applying the rule that specific statutes are regarded as exceptions to inconsistent general statutes, the trial court had concluded that the Marine Patrol officers had no authority to detain Parsons. The resolution of this case requires an examination of the origins of both section 316.640 and section 370.021. The first of these statutes was created in 1971 as part of a broad, omnibus revision of state traffic laws. At that time, section 316.640 was numbered as section 316.016; but the operative language at issue in the present case, while greatly refined in the intervening years, was essentially the same as it is today....

In sum: The City of Mulberry Police Department is authorized by s. 316.640 (3)(a), F.S., to enforce state traffic laws on a state road within the geographical limits of the city although the road itself has not been annexed....
...The City of Mulberry has annexed properties through the voluntary annexation procedure in s.
