Free Consultations 602-842-6762 Possession of Drug Paraphernalia Possession of Drug Paraphernalia in Arizona: ARS §13-3415 Most people don't realize how easy it is to get in trouble with the law. In fact, people don't even need drugs in their possession to be charged with a drug crime. Generally, even possessing drug paraphernalia is enough for a person to be arrested. What's more, the paraphernalia doesn't have to be on your person. What Is Drug Paraphernalia? Drug paraphernalia can encompass a wide range of items. It can be any equipment or products that are used in the manufacture, growing, testing, and harvesting of drugs. In addition, packaging that is used to store or sell drugs can also be considered drug paraphernalia. Law enforcement may consider the following items "paraphernalia" in a criminal case: Syringes Pipes Bongs Rolling papers Roach clips Miniature spoons Testing equipment Razor blades Straws and tubes Scales Many people are arrested when drug paraphernalia is found in the trunks of their cars, the kitchen of their homes, or underneath the car seats. Sometimes, depending on where the drugs are found, your attorney can argue that the drug paraphernalia was not yours or that you were not aware of its presence. However, courts are skeptical; it takes proof in order for the judge to find these defenses credible. Proving Drug Paraphernalia To prove that an object is drug paraphernalia, law enforcement typically will consider several factors, such as whether a person has previous drug convictions, the proximity of the object to the drugs in question, or whether there is any drug residue on them. You will need a competent and tough attorney who knows how to challenge the evidence of law enforcement.
