The Process Of Police Drug Investigation Portland

By Francis Riggs


Many individuals do not have the idea how fast it will take for a government to prosecute someone who is caught with drugs. The government has steps of police drug investigation Portland where defendants are faced with large penalties which come surprisingly to them.

For one to be charged with involvement in a drug conspiracy in Portland, the only thing the government will need is prove. First, that suspected conspiracy happened and second, the defendant perceptively became a participant of a scheme with intentions of furthering it. The government does not need to prove you were actually in possession of any heroin, marijuana or whatever drug it was or even that you took some actions to help in furthering the scheme.

In addition, for you to be charged, you must have been together with the conspiracy team all through the time it existed. It means that if you became involved with illicit drugs at any time during their movement you are totally responsible for the whole process. Many defendants actually had that expertise of cook cracking the cocaine and shared the expertise to the rest of the team.

The government is equipped with a wide range of technology that detects and collects evidence needed. The most common method remains to be that of using confidential informants and cooperating witnesses. The police fetch as many people as they can in a given case. With this many of the defendants change to become cooperating witnesses. Once they have separated themselves, it becomes difficult for the rest to defend their selves. Debriefing gives investigators enough evidence to carry on with next steps.

Once a new group of suspects has come up from the process of debriefing, the agents concerned ask authority to go through records of phone calls that were made by suspects during the transactions. In this way, the authority confirms who the suspects are and also know their way of operating.

This type of investigation is termed high-tech and once done the next is low-tech. The federal representatives will stop the participants on the grounds of state driving laws violation. Every top drug dealer knows the two critical points in the process of delivering drugs are; one, driving in possession of the drugs inside the car where you have to worry of been caught by the police and two, delivering the drugs where armed robbers may ambush you. Thus, traffic stop catch the low level dealers.

The last step is that of agents searching for warrants. They need to search some homes of these accused people. These drug dealers are likely to keep arms in their homes. Most of the times they put them in remote homes that are cared for by their loved ones or with people they can trust, who are not members of main team.

Thus, when you are partaking in business deals with partners involved in drug dealings you are not to imagine that you are safe from prosecution or arrest by the virtue of not having the drugs in your possession or not using them. To the government you are guilty.
