Transportation of Drug Charges & Penalties

In New Hampshire, transporting drugs can be a misdemeanor charge that can result in a 60 day driver’s license suspension and a fine ranging from $1200 to $2000. Depending on the situation, a license suspension can last for 2 years and you may face jail time of up to 1 year. Jail time, fines, and a loss of a driver’s license can affect all aspects of your life, from family relations to your career. Your reputation may also be negatively impacted by the charge and the consequences of a conviction.

The state prosecutor must prove several elements of the offense in order to pursue a transporting drug case against you. For a misdemeanor conviction, it must be proven that you knew of the drugs presence and knowingly transported the drugs; that you knew it was a controlled substance; and that you had physical custody of the substance or control over it, meaning you knew the location in the vehicle.

A transporting drug case can hinge on many factors, especially the way in which the drugs may have been found. Search and seizure laws are very clear and can be contested. Our experienced criminal defense lawyers will examine the facts of the search to determine the constitutionality of the search and seizure. We also investigate the justification of why police pulled you over before a search. Every detail of the incident and how and where drugs may have been found can all play a major role in the outcome of a drug case.
