Drug Crimes
Facing Drug Charges? An Experienced Defense Can Make a Difference.
Drug crime charges can involve allegations of possession, possession for sale, transportation, manufacturing, or distribution of controlled substances. California law regulates controlled substances and provides different penalties depending on the substance, circumstances, and offense involved.
Drug cases frequently involve important constitutional questions concerning searches, seizures, traffic stops, warrants, and police conduct. Other issues may include whether the accused knowingly possessed the substance, whether the substance belonged to the accused, and whether the prosecution can establish an intent to sell or distribute.
A defense attorney can examine the circumstances of the investigation and determine whether evidence may be challenged or whether another defense strategy may apply.
Did you know?
A drug case is not necessarily determined by the fact that drugs were found near a person. The prosecution may still need to establish the required elements of possession and other allegations.
Finding a controlled substance near someone does not automatically establish every element of a possession offense. The circumstances surrounding possession and knowledge can be important issues in a drug case.
