Miami Drug Transportation Lawyer

All About Drug Transportation Charges

Drug transportation is a type of drug crime that refers to the distribution, trafficking, and sale of illegal controlled substances. Transportation is the crime of actually moving the narcotic from one location to another. In the U.S., commonly transported illegal controlled substances include: marijuana, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamines, and unauthorized prescription medications such as OxyContin and Vicodin.

Drug transportation can occur on a small scale basis (from one individual to another) or on a very large scale basis. Whether transportation is committed on a large or small scale basis, people who are charged with committing the crime are susceptible to vigorous prosecution from law enforcement, district attorneys, and judges.

Drug Transportation Legal Penalties

After a person has been convicted of drug transportation, he/she may be sentenced with jail or prison time, large fines, probation, community service, and mandatory drug treatment programs. Any of these legal penalties can be enhanced if the person has a criminal record or if the person has been convicted of a drug crime in the past. You may also face minimum mandatory prison sentences depending on the amount at issue.
