Per Curiam. AFFIRMED . See Owens v. State , 303 So. 3d 993, 994–95 (Fla. 1st DCA 2020) (holding that section 948.06(2)(f)1., Florida Statutes, limits a trial court to modifying or continuing probation or imposing a sentence of up to 90 days in county jail only when a defendant meets all four of the conditions listed in that subparagraph).
Kelsey and M.K. Thomas, JJ., concur; Tanenbaum, J., concurs with an opinion.
Tanenbaum, J., concurring.
Affirmance here is correct based on the interpretation of section 948.06(2)(f), Florida Statutes (2019), set out in Owens . However, the authority of this court to read a statute that way (interpreting a statutory term to have an opposite meaning) is very narrow indeed. See Massey v. State , Case No. 1D19-4281, 309 So. 3d 325 (Fla. 1st DCA Jan. 14, 2021) (Tanenbaum, J., concurring). That authority should be exercised only when absolutely necessary, with reluctance and caution.
