2004For example, in Boca Raton v. Coughlin, 299 So.2d 105, 107 (Fla. 4th DCA 1974), we observed that the "great weight *1252 of authority" holds that a valid arrest made by a police officer for an ordinance violation does not subject the officer to liability for false arrest if the ordinance is later "held void," unless the officer knew or had reason to know "that the ordinance [was] invalid or inapplicable." Five years later, the United States Supreme Court held that a "good-faith reliance on an ordinance, which at the time had not been declared unconstitutional, is valid regardless of a subseque

2001Although they were part of the initial group of defendants, they settled with the plaintiffs during the pendency of the appeal below; therefore, they are no longer parties to the case. [2] See Springtree Properties, Inc. v. Hammond, 692 So.2d 164 (Fla.1997); Napoli v. Buchbinder, 685 So.2d 46 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996); Dykes v. City of Apalachicola, 645 So.2d 50 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994). [3] Notwithstanding this holding, the court remanded the case to the trial court as to the violation of the ordinance claim.

2001The parties do not contest this part of the ruling by the district court in this review proceeding. [4] Historically, another consideration cited in support of the rule has been the distinction between "action" and "inaction," or "misfeasance" and "nonfeasance." See Sprecher v. Adamson Companies, 30 Cal.3d 358 , 178 Cal. Rptr. 783 , 636 P.2d 1121 , 1125 (1981) (citing Restatement (Second) of Torts § 314, and a traditional limitation of the liability of landowners only to persons who come upon the property).

1991However, the court in Snow v. State, 179 So.2d 99 (Fla. 3d DCA 1965) refers to a violation of an ordinance as a misdemeanor and the court in Canney v. State, 298 So.2d 495 (Fla. 2d DCA 1973) authorized the arrest for violation of a municipal ordinance as a "felony or misdemeanor" committed in the officer's presence.

1982Focusing on the fact that the statute punished a failure to act without requiring a showing of knowledge of the duty to act, the Supreme Court struck down the ordinance as a violation of due process. [7] Section 951.22, Florida Statutes (1979) has previously been upheld under constitutional attacks for vagueness, see, e.g., State v. Ashcraft, 378 So.2d 284 (Fla. 1979); Gissendanner v. State, 373 So.2d 898 (Fla. 1979); McClish v. State, 404 So.2d 144 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981), and overbreath.

1972Fourthly, by disregarding the holdings of this court in the recent Donch case ( 214 So.2d 503 ) involving a substantially similar situation with reference to a nearby bay front parcel, which were that the matter of its zoning was fairly debatable and that to rezone the parcel for multifamily uses would be spot zoning (unless the zoning was changed for the entire area), without renouncing and receding from those holdings of this court in Donch, the majority has rendered a decision opposite to the earlier one wherein reasonable basis for distinction does not appear [4] — a practice that *571 is

1961As stated in City of Miami v. Gilbert, 102 So. 2d 818 — “While it has been held that punishment of offenses against municipal ordinances are not ‘criminal prosecutions’ as contemplated by Section 11, Declaration of Rights, Fla. Const., 25 F.S.A., nevertheless, they do partake of the nature of criminal rather than civil proceedings.” The lower court and all parties below, in that case, applied the corpus delicti rule to an ordinance violation of this sort.

1936It is contended by the defendant in error that the provisions of the city charter, being Chapter 10847, Special Laws of 1925, take precedence over the provisions of Chapter 16774, and that under the charter Act the City of Miami had authority to enact the ordinance with the violation of which the plaintiff in error is charged and he cites in support of this contention, Sanders, City Marshal, v. Howell, 173 Fla. 563 , 74 Sou. 802 ; Fergerson v. McDonald, 66 *526 Fla. 494, 63 Sou. 915 ; and Hardee v. Brown, 56 Fla. 377 , 47 Sou. 834 .
