Let us talk about the two most
common road violations: traffic
violations and marijuana possession. Almost everyone considers a traffic
violation to be a minor issue. The standard response upon receiving a speeding
ticket or some other traffic ticket is to simply mail in payment for the fine.
That is the quickest way to put it out of your mind. However, drivers need to
be aware of the impact of the ticket to their ability to continue driving. Traffic
violations attorneys should be able to understand how important it is to take
every traffic violation seriously by offering clients assistance. Traffic
violation attorneys deal with a mix regulations and criminal offenses typically
based in violations of state statues and county, city or other local ordinances
relating to the operation of vehicles. However, federal laws may apply as well,
depending on the nature of the violation.
Marijuana, on the other hand, is commonly
used as a therapeutic drug. Despite its popularity, people have come to abuse
the therapeutic use of such plant. If you were arrested by federal or state law
enforcement officials due to possession of marijuana, you will need to review
the laws and consult your traffic attorney regarding defenses that could be
used in possession of marijuana. For
one, the substance must actually be marijuana; this one may seem like a
no-brainer, but the defendant must actually have marijuana to be accused of its
possession. The lack of knowledge is also a good defense when a defendant must
know that marijuana was under the defendant’s control. If the defendant had
control over the marijuana, either because the drug was in the defendant’s
physical possession or the drugs were within the defendant’s constructive
presence; the drugs were inside the room with the defendant or the defendant
had another person holding the drugs for him.
If you are in search for a good
lawyer, you need to do your homework. A good lawyer can be worth his or her
weight in gold, while a poor one may just add to your problems. Regardless of
who recommended to you, make sure you are comfortable with the lawyer and able
to “connect” with him or her. Some lawyers have dynamic personalities so it is
up to you to whom you open up your case to.
