Possession of a controlled drug with the intention of supplying the drug to another person…
So Aldo did his job and alert that in the driver's side door smelled drugs which give Wheatley probable cause so that the police officer to search Harris truck. The reason, the police officer use a warrantless search and arrest was because at the commission moment it was not feasible to obtaining warrant prior to the search and arrest. Aldo's alert investigation give substantial evidence that Harry has committed a crime that lead to the discovery of "200 loose pseudoephedrine pills, 8,000 matches, a bottle of hydrochloric acid, two containers of antifreeze, and a coffee filter full of iodine crystals- all ingredients for making methamphetamine." Once again, the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution allows the police officer like Wheetley to conducted a warrantless search to Harris's truck because in that circumstances it was likely that the evidence will be destroyed. As a result, the trial court permitted the evidence to be submitted at trial that most likely will confirm the charged of possession of pseudoephedrine against…

The state of Florida charged Clayton Harris in violation of Florida Statute 893.149(1)(a), (unlawful possession of listed chemical).

Aldo again alerted to the driver-side door but Officer Wheetley was unable to recover any illegal drugs. Officer Wheetley testified on behalf of his and Aldo’s training and certification.

The Florida First District Court of Appeal confirmed the lower court’s holding.…

In Minnesota vs. Timothy Dickerson, two police officers parked in an unmarked car, outside of an apartment building known for trafficking contraband substances, did willfully and knowingly stop and frisk respondent due to suspicious and evasive behavior, exiting the twelve-unit apartment building.

During the deep winter in Maine, the St. John River, which forms the border with Canada, freezes over as it flows through the town of Van Buren. This river is transformed into a pathway, suitable for travel by foot or by snowmobile; to avoid U.S. Customs, this river becomes an opportunity for illegal entry into the United States. Typically, smuggling consists of drugs being brought into the U.S. and cash headed for Canada. On February 4, 2005 two senior patrol agents saw a snowmobile driving up the railroad tracks, which later revealed the driver had illegally entered Canada. About 25 minutes after the discovery of the railroad tracks, two railroad workers, Mr. Madore and Mr. LaPointe, reported to the agents that they had found a black duffle bag in some bushes on the north side of the tracks that contained a large amount of U.S. currency. The agents took custody of the bag. The next day, a drug-sniffing dog gave positive alert on the bag for the scent of drugs. On March 1, 2006, the Government filed a complaint in a federal district court against the $165,580 under the federal statues that provide for the forfeiture of funds and property involved in illegal drug deals as well as the forfeiture of unreported cash being transported out of the United States. Madore and LaPointe filed answers.…
Canada became a key area of distribution and production for this insatiable market for drug substances. This is important because it shifts production away from the Western World. This sets a trend to overwhelm the policing capacity in the West.…
It all started with reasonable suspicion and then led to a woman on an operating table. A woman arrived in Spain on a suspicious flight with blood oozing out the bottom of her breast. So they brought her to the operating table where authorities said they found two bags of cocaine stashed within her breast. This woman departed from Bogota, Columbia on a hot flight, a flight that comes from a destination known for drug trafficking. I bet you didn’t know that 90% of the cocaine comes from within Columbia Says the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. What got her caught was her inability to sell the story as to why she was in town. And when asked why she was bleeding from her breast she quickly blurted implants that didn’t heal right. So they order her to see a medical team where they removed the implants and found nearly 1.4 kilos (3 lbs.) of pure Columbian Cocaine the street value of all of this goes upward from $35,000 a pound. She had three pounds on her so you can estimate she was worth roughing $115,000.…
