What are some types of situations when I may be charged with drug possession?
If the police find drugs on you, whether in your pockets or anywhere else on your body, you can be charged with possession. Constructive possession can apply where drugs are found in a place that you normally control or could easily reach such as in your car or in your home or apartment. A person charged with possession must be shown to have custody, care, and control of the illegal drug.
