• holding that it was proper to deny ex-punction of a firefighter’s record where he pled nolo contendere to the unlawful purchase of cocaine, given that his occupation required him to be ready “at any given moment ... to render assistance in a life threatening situation”
• explaining that the purpose of the 1988 amendment to former section 943.058 was to grant discretion to the trial courts, thus overturning district court of appeal precedent holding that the trial courts were without discretion
