Defense for Drug Possession Charges in Los Angeles & South Bay

In order to conduct an arrest, the police must have evidence that proves your intent to sell, manufacture, or distribute the drugs.  There are a number of things police officers typically look for when investigating these types of cases, such as:

• Scales
• Baggies and packaging supplies
• Large amounts of cash
• Address books , or some type of client list
• Cell phones, pagers, or some other type of communication device
• Laboratory equipment for mixing chemicals

Without sufficient evidence, the police will not have grounds to file charges.  Unfortunately, in desperation to collect the evidence needed to make an arrest, sometimes police officers and investigators break the law by conducting an unlawful search and seizure.  The police cannot search you or your property without just cause or a valid search warrant.  If you think the police violated federal search and seizure law, you should speak with an attorney at our office who can look into the matter to determine if your constitutional rights were violated.  If we discover the police conducted an unlawful search and seizure, we will motion to have the evidence thrown out of court.  Without sufficient evidence, it will be very difficult for the prosecution to pursue their case.  In fact, it might be a situation where the charges would be dropped completely.
