What is Drug Trafficking?

Sometimes when a person is arrested for a serious offense, law enforcement agents can be less than helpful when explaining why. This is often intentional, as to not risk saying too much that could possibly hurt the eventual prosecution’s chances of securing a conviction. As such, you might be wondering what details comprise the drug trafficking or related drug crime charges you now face.

In general, drug trafficking is considered a crime that involves:

• Moving a large quantity of illegal drugs.
• Hiding or concealing a large quantity of illegal drugs.
• Arranging a large quantity of illegal drugs for sale or distribution.
• Passing any amount of illegal drugs across state or international borders.

The common thread in drug trafficking charges is the larger than normal amount of narcotics in question. However, the amount needed to constitute the charge may be surprisingly small. It is possible to be charged with drug trafficking or distribution as long as you are found to be in possession of an amount of an illegal, scheduled substance that appears to go beyond what one would reasonably assume will be used by just yourself.

Challenging Drug Trafficking Charges & Fighting for Your Rights

When you are charged with drug trafficking, federal agencies like the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) may have an interest in your case. The opposition could have tremendous resources to ensure you are convicted and sentenced to extensive prison time and high fines, among other penalties. Be sure you are ready for whatever they can bring to their case by teaming up with a hard-hitting, truly-fearless Overland Park drug crimes defense lawyer like Attorney Gigstad.
