South Hackensack New Jersey Criminal Defense Lawyers
A person may wonder, how can law enforcement agents determine whether an individual intends to use the marijuana in his possession for personal use, or if his intentions are to distribute the marijuana? In truth, there is no one determining factor. However law enforcement officials can look at a wide range of circumstantial factors to determine what the probable intention of the defendant is for the marijuana in his possession.
For example let’s say a guy who lives in South Hackensack, New Jersey walks out of a convenience store, and he is clearly intoxicated. He is stumbling around, and for this reason he gets the attention of law enforcement agents. When they pull him over, they see that he has rolling paper, a 3 dollars on him, and a bag of marijuana in his pocket that weighs just about 1 ounce. Law enforcement officials could conclude that this individual’s intent for the marijuana is personal use. They could come to this conclusion because of the relatively small amount of marijuana he had in his possession, the fact that he did not have large sums of cash in his possession, and also the fact that he had paraphernalia that he could personally use to smoke marijuana.
With every case of marijuana possession, it is going to be up to the prosecutor to determine how they are going to charge the defendant. Something though that is clear is that anyone who is charged with possession marijuana with intent is looking at very serious consequences. Their best bet for a good defense is to speak to a South Hackensack marijuana possession lawyer.
