In North Carolina, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia is a Class 1 Misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of 120 days in jail. It is often charged along with some other type of drug offense. In addition to jail, punishment can include a fine and probation. In general, a misdemeanor conviction is permanent. It may prevent you from getting a job or getting into a school. It is a serious charge that can have lifelong consequences.
HOWEVER, just because you are charged with a crime does not mean you are guilty of anything. You have rights! Before you can be convicted of a crime, the state must be able to prove each element of that crime beyond a reasonable doubt. In addition, you may be able to suppress illegally obtained evidence or negotiate with the District Attorney’s Office based on your character and accomplishments. It is vitally important that you immediately consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney.
Criminal Defense requires extensive knowledge of Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, the Rules of Evidence, and Criminal Procedure. It also requires familiarity with the other parties involved including the judges, prosecutors and law enforcement officers. How you deal with these laws and these people will likely determine whether you will be convicted and (if convicted) the nature and extent of your punishment.
