Florida Drug Transportation Charges & Penalties

If you are charged with drug transportation your penalties may include:

• Jail or prison time
• Probation
• Drug testing
• Loss of the right to own a firearm
• Loss of the right to vote
• Expensive fines
• Loss of driving privileges

A skilled attorney will be able to provide you with exceptional defense. In some cases, your attorney will be able to prove that the evidence brought against you was obtained illegally and therefore not valid in a court of law. If you had a legal reason for having the controlled substances, such as a prescription from a doctor, the charges may also be dropped.

In some drug transportation cases, the one who is being charged with the drug crime had no knowledge of the presence of the controlled substance and therefore does not fall under the criteria required to prosecute. The sooner a Tampa drug lawyer can get involved in your case, the better chance you will have of getting your charges dismissed or reduced greatly. When you have been charged with a serious crime such as drug transportation, taking early action may be the key to building a compelling defense case.
