Opinion of the Court
McDonald, justice.
In State v. Stember, 565 So. 2d 725, 726 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990), the court certified the following question as being of great public importance:
DO OFFICERS OF THE FLORIDA MARINE PATROL HAVE AUTHORITY TO DETAIN AND CITE DRIVERS FOR NONCRIMINAL TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS?
