Defence for Drug and Firearm Allegations
These files may involve possession, possession for the purpose of trafficking, trafficking, production, firearm possession, storage, transportation, or weapons prohibitions. The case often depends on how police found the item and who knew about or controlled it.
Possession Is More Than Proximity
The Crown must prove the elements of the charged offence. Being near an item is not always enough. Knowledge, consent, control, joint possession, purpose, and the reliability of police inferences may be disputed.
Evidence We Review
- Search warrants, warrant applications, entries, arrests, and exigent-circumstance claims
- Vehicle, home, phone, and digital-device searches
- Fingerprints, DNA, photographs, packaging, scales, messages, and expert evidence
- Continuity of exhibits, laboratory certificates, firearm classification, and operability evidence
- Statements, surveillance, confidential-informer issues, and alleged ownership or control
Charter and Search Issues
Unlawful search or seizure, arbitrary detention, access-to-counsel problems, and the manner in which evidence was obtained can affect admissibility. The remedy depends on the facts and must be developed from the complete disclosure.
Why the Classification Matters
Consequences vary sharply with the substance, quantity, purpose, firearm type, authorization, prior record, and any prohibition order. Some allegations carry significant custody exposure and collateral effects.
How Broadway Law Prepares the Defence
We examine the legal authority for each police step, trace every exhibit, test the possession theory, and assess whether expert or technical proof answers the real issues.
