Drug charges are unique crimes because they always involve a Fourth Amendment analysis. For drug cases to be charged, drugs or drug paraphernalia always have to be seized, and it is common they are seized following a search. The Fourth Amendment protects against unconstitutional searches and seizures; therefore, good drug charge lawyers will always evaluate a Motion to Suppress the evidence related to the seizure and, if applicable, the search of the drug or drug paraphernalia.
St. Louis County drug charges are numerous. The most common charge is possession of a controlled substance, which currently still includes possession of marijuana. Individuals can also commit drug charges by, among others, manufacturing methamphetamine or other drugs, delivering or distributing controlled substances, or trafficking controlled substances. Some of the most common controlled substances in drug charges are methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, marijuana, and prescription medications.
As stated above, good drug charge lawyers will always evaluate a Motion to Suppress, but The Lowry Law Firm’s drug charge lawyers go beyond that.
