Drug Offences
While law enforcement has moved away from charging offences of possession of small amounts of controlled drugs and substances, the investigation and prosecution of drug trafficking and trafficking related offences has continued to be a focus.
With the opioid crisis and the proliferation of fentanyl and even more dangerous synthetic substitutes, sentences for trafficking in these substances have been steadily increasing. When possessed for the purpose of trafficking, even relatively small quantities of fentanyl or its cousins, can attract penitentiary sentences.
Defending drug cases requires a solid understanding of the law of search and seizure and an eye for detail. Defences often revolve around the validity of search warrants, traffic stops or the propriety of police conduct. The question of whether the evidence establishes that a party had knowledge and control over the drugs is always front and centre, especially where multiple parties are charged.
