Black v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

As we did in Gillion v. State, 547 So.2d 719 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989), we certify the following question as one of great public importance:

DOES THE MERE IDENTIFICATION OF A LOCATION AS A HIGH CRIME AREA UNDULY PREJUDICE A DEFENDANT WHO IS ARRESTED THERE?

AFFIRMED.

DOWNEY, GUNTHER and WARNER, JJ., concur.
