Penalties for Drug Transportation Charges in CA

California imposes strict penalties on those who are convicted of transporting illicit drugs. Charges of this nature can expose a person to a felony charge punishable by up to nine years in jail and $20,000 in fines. Additional factors can aggravate these charges and impose additional penalties, such as transporting large quantities of a drug, transporting drugs over state or county lines, or being found with a drug within 1,000 feet of a rehab facility or homeless shelter. Penalties will increase for each prior offense on a person’s record.

Drug transportation charges can result from being caught with any of the following substances:

  • Heroin
  • Cocaine
  • Methamphetamines
  • Ecstasy
  • Synthetic designer drugs

Defenses Against Drug Transportation Charges

A number of different defense strategies can be used against drug transportation charges, depending on the situation. Unlawful search and seizure can be used as a defense if an arresting officer did not adhere to the proper arrest protocols or have probable cause to make an arrest.

Entrapment is another valid defense, as a police officer may not coerce a person into committing a crime. Since all cases are different, it is vital you allow our firm’s attorneys to examine your situation during a consultation to determine the most appropriate defense strategy to pursue.
