CANADY, J.,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
I concur with the majority’s decision to adopt amendments to Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure 8.010, 8.070, 8.080, 8.115, 8.130, 8.235, 8.257, 8.265, 8.310, 8.400, 8.410, and 8.505. I dissent, however, from the majority’s decision to amend rule 8.100. Although I agree that juveniles should not be chained to one another in the courtroom or restrained in any other way that would interfere with their ability to have meaningful access to counsel, I dissent from the majority’s adoption of a rule establishing a blanket presumption against the use of any kind of restraints on juveniles appearing before a trial judge. In my view, the rule unduly restricts the ability of juvenile court judges to ensure that security is maintained in the courtroom.
It is true that the use of physical restraints during court proceedings may violate the defendant’s due process rights. See Deck v. Missouri, 544 U.S. 622, 125 S.Ct. 2007, 161 L.Ed.2d 953 (2005); Hernandez v. State, 4 So.3d 642 (Fla.), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 130 S.Ct. 160, 175 L.Ed.2d 101 (2009). Aside from the use of restraints that impede a defendant’s ability freely to consult with counsel, however, the due process concerns come into play only when a restrained defendant appears before a jury. The common law rule underlying the due process right “did not apply at ‘the time of arraignment,’ or like proceedings before the judge.” Deck, 544 U.S. at 626, 125 S.Ct. 2007 (quoting 4 W. Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 317 (1769)). The common law rule “was meant to protect defendants appealing at trial before a jury.” Id. The core due process concern that “[vjisible shackling undermines the presumption of innocence and the related fairness of the factfinding process” has no application to nonjury proceedings. Id. at 630, 125 S.Ct. 2007. Accordingly, due process considerations do not justify the broad rule adopted by the majority.
The minority report from the Juvenile Court Rules Committee states:
Control of courtroom security and the safety of those present in the courtroom are matters that should remain within the sound discretion of the trial judge. Given the wide variations in courtroom facilities across the state and differing availability of security staff, it is a matter of necessity that the trial judge retains full authority over the security of his or her courtroom, to protect the safety of all persons present.

... It is the juvenile judge who can best take into consideration the safety of all present, and who should continue to do so, without the imposition of rules *560more appropriate to adult defendants in the presence of a jury.
I am persuaded by the view articulated in the minority’s report.
In his written comments filed on behalf of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in opposition to the proposed amendment to rule 8.100, Judge Raymond Gross points out that the “juveniles held in detention have already been determined to be high risk” by Department of Juvenile Justice personnel. I also find this point to be significant. In light of this point, it seems unwarranted to impose a presumption against the use of any restraints. I am concerned that by imposing such a presumption against the use of restraints on juveniles who have been placed in detention, the new rule will unduly hamper the trial court’s ability to maintain the safety of court personnel, the juveniles themselves, and any bystanders in the courtroom.
The reality is that being subjected to physical restraints is an inherent part of being in custody. Juveniles who are in custody will routinely be subjected to restraints when they are transported to and from court. Nothing in the proposed rule alters that fact. Accordingly, any “therapeutic” impact of the rule will be insubstantial compared with the significant security risks that may arise from the implementation of the rule.
Because I conclude that revised rule 8.100 may interfere with the State’s interest in conducting safe, orderly court proceedings, I dissent from the majority’s revision of rule 8.100.
APPENDIX
RULE 8.010. DETENTION HEARING
(a) [No Change]
(b) Time. The detention hearing shall be held within the time limits as provided by law. A child who is detained shall be given a hearing within 24 hours after being taken into custody.
(c)-(d) [No Change]
(e) Appointment of Counsel. At the detention hearing, the child shall be advised of the right to be represented by counsel. Counsel shall be appointed if the child qualifies, unless the child waives counsel in writing subject to the requirements of rule 8.165.
(ef) Advice of Rights. At the detention hearing the persons present shall be advised of the purpose of the hearing and the child shall be advised of:
(1) the nature of the charge for which he or she was taken into custody;
(2) the right -to — be—represented-by counsel-and if insolvent-the right to appointed counsel;
(32) that the child is not required to say anything and that anything said may be used against him or her;
(43) if the child’s parent, custodian, or counsel is not present, that he or she has a right to communicate with them and that, if necessary, reasonable means will be provided to do so; and
(54) the reason continued detention is requested.
(fg) Issues. At this hearing the court shall determine the following:
(1) The existence of probable cause to believe the child has committed a delinquent act. This issue shall be determined in a nonadversary proceeding. The court shall apply the standard of proof necessary for an arrest warrant and its finding may be based upon a sworn complaint, affidavit, deposition under oath, or, if necessary, upon testimony under oath properly recorded.
(2) The need for detention according to the criteria provided by law. In making *561this determination in addition to the sworn testimony of available witnesses all relevant and material evidence helpful in determining the specific issue, including oral and written reports, may be relied upon to the extent of its probative value, even though it would not be competent at an adjudicatory hearing.
(3) The need to release the juvenile from detention and return the child to the child’s nonresidential commitment program.
(gh) Probable Cause. If the court finds that such probable cause exists, it shall enter an order making such a finding and may, if other statutory needs of detention exist, retain the child in detention. If the court finds that such probable cause does not exist, it shall forthwith release the child from detention. If the court finds that one or more of the statutory needs of detention exists, but is unable to make a finding on the existence of probable cause, it may retain the child in detention and continue the hearing for the purpose of determining the existence of probable cause to a time within 72 hours of the time the child was taken into custody. The court may, on a showing of good cause, continue the hearing a second time for not more than 24 hours beyond the 72-hour period. Release of the child based on no probable cause existing shall not prohibit the filing of a petition and further proceedings thereunder, but shall prohibit holding the child in detention pri- or to an adjudicatory hearing.
RULE 8.070. ARRAIGNMENTS
(a) Appointment of Counsel. Prior to the adjudicatory hearing, the court may conduct a hearing to determine whether a guilty, nolo contendere, or not guilty plea to the petition shall be entered and whether the child is represented by counsel or entitled to appointed counsel as provided by law. Counsel shall be appointed if the child qualifies for such appointment and does not waive counsel in writing subject to the requirements of rule 8.165.
(b) Plea. The reading or statement as to the charge or charges may be waived by the child. If the child is represented by counsel, counsel may file a written plea of not guilty at or before arraignment and arraignment shall then be deemed waived. If a plea of guilty or nolo contendere is entered, the court shall proceed as set forth under rule 8.115, disposition hearings. If a plea of not guilty is entered, the court shall set an adjudicatory hearing within the period of time provided by law and-appoint counsel when required. If the child — is ■■ represented by counsel,.counsel may file a written plea of not guilty at or ■before — arraignment and -thereupon arraignment shall be deemed — waived. The child is entitled to a reasonable time in which to prepare for trial.

RULE 8.080. ACCEPTANCE OF GUILTY OR NOLO CON-TENDERE PLEA
(a) [No Change]
(b) Determination by Court. The court, when making this determination, should place the child under oath and shall address the child personally. The court shall determine that the child understands each of the following rights and consequences of entering a guilty or nolo con-tendere plea:
(1) The nature of the charge to which the plea is offered and the possible dispositions available to the court.
(2) If the child is not represented by an-attorney, that the child has the right to be represented by an attorney at every stage of the proceedings and, if necessary, *562one will be appointed. Counsel shall be appointed if the child qualifies for such appointment and does not waive counsel in writing subject to the requirements of rule 8.165.
(3) That the child has the right to plead not guilty, or to persist in that plea if it had already been made, and that the child has the right to an adjudicatory hearing and at that hearing has the right to the assistance of counsel, the right to compel the attendance of witnesses on his or her behalf, the right to confront and cross-examine witnesses against him or her, and the right not to be compelled to incriminate himself or herself.
(4) That, if the child pleads guilty or nolo contendere, without express reservation of the right to appeal, the right to appeal all matters relating to the judgment, including the issue of guilt or innocence, is relinquished, but the right to review by appropriate collateral attack is not impaired.
(5) That, if the child pleads guilty or nolo contendere, there will not be a further adjudicatory hearing of any kind, so that by pleading so the right to an adjudicatory hearing is waived.
(6) That, if the child pleads guilty or nolo contendere, the court may ask the child questions about the offense to which the child has pleaded, and, if those questions are answered under oath, on the record, the answers may later be used against the child in a prosecution for perjury-
(7) The complete terms of any plea agreement including specifically all obligations the child will incur as a result.
(8) That, if the child pleads guilty or nolo contendere, and the offense to which the child is pleading is a sexually violent offense or a sexually motivated offense, or if the child has been previously adjudicated for such an offense, the plea may subject the child to involuntary civil commitment as a sexually violent predator on completion of his or her sentence. It shall not be necessary for the trial judge to determine whether the present or prior offenses were sexually motivated, as this admonition shall be given to all children in all cases.
(c)-(e) [No Change]
(f) Withdrawal of Plea When Judge Does Not Concur. If the trial judge does not concur in a tendered plea of guilty or nolo contendere arising from negotiations, the plea may be withdrawn.
(⅛) Failure to Follow Procedures. Failure to follow any of the procedures in this rule shall not render a plea void, absent a showing of prejudice.
