Drug Offences
There are several criminal offences arising from the possession
or trafficking of drugs and controlled substances. Charges
can range from simple possession, to possession for the purpose
of trafficking to trafficking in a particular drug.
The seriousness
of the offence is determined by factors such as the quantity
of the prohibited substance involved and the type of drug involved. For
example, possession of marijuana is generally considered to
be less serious than offences involving drugs such as cocaine
and heroin.
What You Should Do
The outcomes of a large percentage of these cases
revolve around the legality of the search in which the substance(s)
was(were) discovered. Even if the substance is an illegal
one, the prosecution may not be able to use the evidence
due to a breach of your rights. Thus, always talk to
a lawyer before engaging in any discussion
with the police regarding a drug offence. If the police
indicate that they are searching you, your vehicle, or your
premises pursuant to a warrant, ask to see the warrant to
verify that the area searched is the place described in the
warrant. If in doubt, ask to speak to a lawyer.
