Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

My checkbook/wallet was lost or stolen- I did file a police report. Someone wrote multiple checks- I was arrested and have three worthless check charges on my record that are dis-positioned - nol pros (code 4)- what does the code 4 mean.. what does nol pros (code 30) mean?

Not sure what the code numbers mean as that is probably a clerk entry. However, nol pros is short for nolle prosse which means the cases were dismissed.

Code 4/30 are interoffice references for our State Atty's office. The only thing that matters is the "nol pros". This is abbreviated Latin...meaning not prosecuting.

You can file motions to seal your records so long as you have no prior convictions. You may even have a law suit for false arrest if the State was negligent re: your arrest.

Good luck. Tom R.
