 Possessing, selling, cultivating or manufacturing illegal drugs is a significant criminal offense that can entail State or Federal charges. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) often collaborates with the Inland Empire Sheriff’s Department and other local law enforcement agencies to deal with cases involving drugs, and media and political attention have kept drug enforcement a main concern in California. Because of the large number of international airports and seaports, as well as the Mexican border, California has more than enough drug crimes – both in terms of internationally imported drugs and those produced within the state.
An experienced Inland Empire criminal attorney might be able to utilize one of many defenses when working for a client who faces any kind of drug charge. One such defense that is often used is an illegal search and seizure. When law enforcement does not obtain an authorized search warrant or does not have probable cause to search a person and/or his property, the drug evidence collected could be inadmissible in court. It is up to An Inland Empire defense attorney to resolve whether the client’s charges have been derived from evidence found during an unlawful search and seizure.
Becoming involved in a case early on, means a defense lawyer has the opportunity to make a difference. Especially in cases involving Federal drug crime charges, the DEA or FBI may carry out a long and methodical investigation into a specific suspect. A lawyer’s early involvement in these cases may serve to circumvent the possibility of formal drug charges being filed at all, thus allowing a client evade the whole criminal court process.
