Drug Charges

Denver Drug Charges Lawyer

Since the War on Drugs began, police have been exercising ever broader and far-ranging tactics in an effort to find offenders and apply drug charges. If they have probable cause, Street Crimes Tactical Units will enter a house and arrest everybody present, just for being in a room where drugs are present.

Although mere presence isn’t enough to sustain a conviction, it is enough for the police to file charges. Many charges result from an improper search or seizure. Once charges are filed, however, if a defendant doesn’t understand his or her rights, he or she can be pressured into giving up names and information.
