Yes.

Unless they can convince a judge you are a gang member, or the vest is worn during the commission of certain crimes, then it's a 3rd degree felony.

FL 775.0846 :

(2) No person may possess a bulletproof vest while, acting alone or with one or more other persons, he or she commits or attempts to commit any murder, sexual battery, robbery, burglary, arson, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, kidnapping, escape, breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony, criminal gang-related offense under chapter 874, controlled substance offense under chapter 893, or aircraft piracy and such possession is in the course of and in furtherance of any such crime.

No. Contrary to popular belief, bullet proof vests are legal and available to the general public. It is illegal to wear a BPV while committing a crime in most states, and a few states prohibit possession of BPVs by felons.
