When asked to comment, La Rue said, “Drug paraphernalia charges are classified as misdemeanors and are a matter of public record, which could negatively affect any employment opportunities. Here are some ways to get drug paraphernalia charges either reduced in the severity of the charge, or potentially dismissed altogether."

Anyone who has ever given a ride to anyone, or shared a car with family or friends could someday face drug paraphernalia charges for possessing everyday materials such as aluminum foil, plastic bags, syringes, scales, and discarded refuse associated with drug use, among other things.

One of the most common ways to dismiss drug paraphernalia charges from a record is to prove that probable cause didn’t exist at the time of the search of the vehicle upon the driver being stopped. 

When asked to elaborate, La Rue commented, “If a police officer pulls you over without probable cause to stop or seize your person, any drug charge, in all probability, should, based upon the law, be dismissed.”

La Rue added that these searches can include a stop and search of your person by police in the street, and also, for a traffic stop of your vehicle. 

Hiring a knowledgeable defense attorney can help poke holes in the Prosecution's case, which go a long way in getting the charges dropped.

When asked for an example, La Rue said, "It's possible that a drug paraphernalia charge could be brought against you without enough evidence if the police were not able to produce the drugs in court."

Another way to resolve drug paraphernalia charges in your favor may be to seek a diversion program for first offenders, or one tied to those seeking to get help with an addiction problem.  Usually, the criminal justice system, particularly where the individual charged is new to being in trouble, or is motivated to get clean and stay sober, will work with the accused and their attorney to resolve the charged in such a way as to give the person a chance at a record that is clean upon completion of the program.  While such programs vary, an attorney that knows the ins and outs of this application and assessment process can be invaluable.

“Having a defense attorney who is well acquainted with the criminal system could help bring these issues to light and break down the other side’s case or find an alternative way to resolve the case, thereby giving you a better chance of avoiding a drug paraphernalia charge on your record,” he said.
