How to Fight Drug Trafficking Charges
If you are facing drug trafficking charges, there are several possible defenses that can be used to fight the charges. The defense strategy that will work best for your case will depend on the specific circumstances. An experienced drug trafficking defense attorney can help you determine the most appropriate defense strategy for your case.
Some possible defenses for drug trafficking charges include:
- Lack of knowledge: You did not know the drugs were in your possession. If you were unaware that you were transporting drugs, you may be able to avoid a conviction.
- Lack of intent: You did not intend to transport drugs. If you were transporting a package that allegedly contained drugs, you may be able to avoid a conviction if you can show that you did not intend to transport drugs.
- Unlawful search and seizure: The police violated your Fourth Amendment rights. If the police searched you, your vehicle, or your home without a valid warrant or probable cause, any evidence obtained as a result of the search may be inadmissible in court.
- Entrapment: You were set up by law enforcement. If the police used an undercover officer or confidential informant to entice you to commit a drug trafficking crime, you may be able to use the defense of entrapment.
- You were the victim of mistaken identity: You were mistakenly identified as the person who committed the drug trafficking crime. If you were mistakenly identified as the person who committed the offense, you may be able to avoid a conviction.
- The drugs were planted: The drugs were planted by someone else. If someone else planted the drugs in your vehicle or home, you may be able to use this defense to avoid a conviction.
