Drug Paraphernalia

There is some discretion on the part of law enforcement officers in determining if something is considered drug paraphernalia. There are times when they have clearly overstepped their bounds or mistook something innocent for drug paraphernalia. When a drug possession lawyer in Bloomington IL from our firm takes a case, one of the things that may be considered is the nature of the so-called drug paraphernalia. It’s very possible that the evidence seized from your possession had nothing to do with illegal drugs.

Alternately, perhaps it was not your drug paraphernalia and you were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Talk to a Bloomington IL drug possession lawyer about the details of your case. It’s very possible that when our lawyer submits a strong argument on your behalf to the prosecutor or in a courtroom, that the truth will become evident.

If a law enforcement officer identifies drug paraphernalia in your possession, it may be in regard to one or more of the following items:

• Rolling papers
• Water bong
• Pipe
• Syringe
• Grinder
• Scale
• Syringe

Laws Regarding the Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

Drug laws can vary from one jurisdiction to the next. In fact, you may reside in one jurisdiction but were arrested in another jurisdiction, or you traveled between two jurisdictions. A drug possession lawyer from our firm has a thorough understanding of the laws in Bloomington IL and the surrounding areas. If more than one jurisdiction’s laws are relevant to your case, you can feel confident that all of the variables will be considered by a drug possession lawyer Bloomington IL clients recommend when forming your legal defense strategy.

Exercise Your Right to Remain Silent

The legal determination of what constitutes drug paraphernalia depends in large part on the intent of the item’s owner. For example, a spoon in one’s car may have been left over from a meal eaten in the vehicle, or it could have been used as drug paraphernalia. Determining intent is often dependent on questions asked by a law enforcement officer or on the information volunteered by the individual during questioning by law enforcement. You have the right to remain silent even before you are charged with a crime. You will likely be best served by not answering questions other than providing your identity. At your first opportunity, call a Bloomington IL drug possession lawyer who can immediately begin protecting your rights.
