What Is Drug Paraphernalia?
Drug paraphernalia can encompass a wide range of items. It can be any equipment or products used in manufacturing, growing, testing, and harvesting 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 kitchens 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 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 law enforcement evidence.
