Is "Robbery by Sudden Snatching" the same as regular robbery?

Florida has a specific statute for this (§ 812.131). It applies when property is taken from a victim’s person (like a purse snatching), and the victim becomes aware of the taking as it happens. Unlike regular robbery, the prosecutor does not need to prove that the offender used additional force or that the victim resisted. It is typically a third-degree felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison, unless a weapon was used.
