Understanding Drug Possession in New York
Drug possession refers to the act of holding, controlling, or having illegal substances on your person, in your vehicle, or within your property without proper authorization. In New York, the severity of drug possession charges varies based on the type and quantity of the controlled substance involved. From marijuana and cocaine to prescription medications, understanding the specific charges against you is crucial to building a strong defense.
Penalties for Drug Possession in New York
New York imposes strict penalties for drug possession, reflecting a commitment to combatting substance abuse and illegal drug activities. The severity of these penalties is influenced by factors such as the type and quantity of the controlled substance, any prior criminal record, and the circumstances surrounding the arrest.
Penalties for drug possession may include fines, probation, mandatory drug education programs, and, in more severe cases, imprisonment. At Mottola Uris Law, PLLC, we are well-versed in New York's drug laws and will diligently work to mitigate the potential consequences you may face.
Possible Defenses Against Drug Possession Charges
Some common defenses against drug possession charges may include:
- Unlawful Search and Seizure: If law enforcement conducts an illegal search or seizure, we can challenge the admissibility of the evidence against you.
- Lack of Possession Knowledge: Proving that you were unaware of the presence of drugs can be a viable defense. This strategy relies on demonstrating that you had no knowledge or control over the illegal substances.
- Inadequate Evidence: We can scrutinize the evidence presented by the prosecution, ensuring that it meets the necessary legal standards. Insufficient evidence can weaken the prosecution's case and improve your chances of a favorable outcome.
- Violation of Miranda Rights: If law enforcement failed to inform you of your Miranda rights at the time of the arrest, we may argue for the exclusion of self-incriminating statements.
