Lexington Drug Possession Defense

All South Carolina drug charges are criminal offenses. Anytime you are arrested for violation of a drug law your freedom and liberty are at stake. Federal, State and Local law enforcement are constantly out in force looking to make as many drug arrests as possible.. In law enforcement's zeal to make as many arrests as possible sometimes rules are broken, lines crossed and rights disregarded.

If you beleive that the police search of your home, business, automobile or person was illegal this may create an important defense to be used to negotiate with the prosecutor or to defend you in Court. Determining whether or not correct procedures were followed, and using that information on your behalf, requires research into both national and South Carolina court precedent and procedure.

Examples of circumstances that deserve investigation in any drug arrest include:

• Miranda Advisements
• Warrantless Searches
• Coerced Consents or Authorizations
• Police Frisks and Pat-Downs
• Cases involving Drug Dogs
• Controlled Buys \ Confidential Informants
• Law Enforcement Raids
• Juvenile Stops and Searches

When the police conduct an illegal search this can result in the supression of the evidence. This can be beneficial in both negotiating with the prosecution and in presenting a Courtroom defense.
