Drug CrimesDrug crimes are taken very seriously in California Courts. Certain drug crimes are misdemeanors. Many are felonies. Some are called “wobblers” and can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony. Sentences can range from small fines of $100 to decades in State Prison. There are even sentencing alternatives like “pre-trial diversion,” “differed entry of judgment,” and “drug court.” Various drug treatment programs like Alcoholics Anonymous, outpatient and inpatient hospital programs and private outpatient and residential programs can be ordered to supplement or even replace custody time. If weapons are involved potential state prison time increases. Finally, conviction for a drug crime could result in a registration requirement under Penal Code section 11590.Drug investigations often involve searches of persons, automobiles, property and real estate. If law enforcement violates your constitutional rights during a search, your case could be thrown out.
