You do, however, have the right to face your accuser in court, so those same rules they hide behind can get you out of complaint-related citations, aerial and two-cop speeding tickets, etc. You simply ask to cross examine the original witness or complainant. When it is responded that are not present, you respectfully request the judge to dismiss the case. In the case of traffic tickets involving planes, helicopters and one cop sitting on the bridge while the other tickets you, as soon as your case is dismissed, the judge will also dismiss everyone else in the court with the same officer involved.

Kudos to Geosulcata and Edwmax for finding those statutes. That's pretty much all an attorney does, which is why they have all those volumes on the shelves behind their desk.

You can also speak with the FL AG's Office for a more detailed explanation on "FL friendly landscaping" and inquire if it includes plants or not. You can't ask legal advice, but you can ask for clear definitions and they are glad to help. It's their job.
