The war on drugs is a non-stop collective effort run by local, state, and federal agencies. According to recent statistics from the Department of Justice, the number of people arrested by state, local and federal agencies for drug violations alone numbered well over 1,500,000. The result that this has had on the citizens of the United States is staggering. No other country has such a policy in effect. In order to control the abuse, law enforcement agencies have taken an approach to just lock people up and thereby have dismantled the very fabric of many American's lives in that effort. If you have been arrested for a drug abuse offense there are certain rights that you may not know you have. An expert attorney in the field of drug charges can help you understand your rights and your options.
