What is Drug Transportation?
Drug transportation refers to the illegal act of moving controlled substances, including but not limited to narcotics, prescription drugs, and illegal drugs, from one place to another. This activity can occur across state lines or within a single state. Drug transportation charges are often accompanied by accusations of drug trafficking, which is a more severe offense involving the distribution of drugs.
The prosecution must prove that you knowingly transported a controlled substance and that you did so with the intent to distribute or deliver the drug to another party. The nature of the drug, the quantity, and the method of transportation are all factors that can influence the severity of the charges and potential penalties.
