If you have possession of a controlled substance, then you have direct and immediate physical control over it. This could mean that you have a controlled substance in one of your pockets or anywhere else on your person.  A purse or briefcase is also considered being in your control. If you are the driver of a car you are consider to be in control of the car and could be charged with possession of a controlled substance if found under a passenger seat. 

 If the police find you in actual possession of a controlled substance, it will be difficult...but by no means impossible...to argue that you didn't possess the drugs. Here is where you can help your case by not talking to the police. Even if your 100% innocent do not talk to the police. A misstatement or ever an misunderstanding by the police of what you said could lead to more charges. The more charges you have against you the higher your bail bond will be. Know that you have the right to remain silent  and use it. 

The first thing you should be thinking of when being arrested for anything is bail. It is always better to fight your case as a free man than behind bars. Call us, or have your loved one give 510 Bail Bond a call 510-760-9409 and arrange for your bail. 510 Bail Bond has agents on call 24/7 and we will come to you. 

Most clients that have been charged with possession of marijuana under HS11350(A) with small amounts have had their charges dropped or not perused by the district attorney. A major reason for that is our clients bail out of jail not giving the police time to interview them to build their case. It's important to remember that even though it is the current trend not to pursue the case for the district attorney, that could all change at any moment if the DA feels he has a strong case against you. It's always best to keep quiet, bail out and seek some legal advice regarding your case. As a licensed bail agent we are prohibited by law from referring an attorney to our clients. We are experts at bail and know our way around the local jails but, when it comes to legal advise you must seek a licensed Attorney's counsel.

 Updated as of 11/2014 :

California voters passed a measure that states: Requires misdemeanor sentence instead of felony for certain drug and property offenses. Inapplicable to persons with prior conviction for serious or violent crime and registered sex offenders. Fiscal Impact: State and county criminal justice savings potentially in the high hundreds of millions of dollars annually. State savings spent on school truancy and dropout prevention, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and victim services.

Let's see how this will play out. As of now this is a win as far as your FREEDOM is concern. You now have a little less chance of being arrested in the state of California. 

Stay Free my friends for all others - there is bail at 510 Bail Bond.

Bail - It's what we do.
