What Happens if I am Caught Selling Drugs in a Public Park or Public Housing?

The penalties levied against those selling drugs are typically rather severe, they have the potential to be much harsher for those caught selling drugs in a public park or in public housing. Each state has its own set of laws and potential consequences for distributing drugs in certain areas. For instance, in California, penalties are stiffer for those caught selling drugs in public parks that are specifically designed for children and/or have children present. Furthermore, those caught and convicted of selling drugs in a public housing project may be subjected to mandatory prison terms. There is a lot of ambiguity attributed to drug laws concerning protected areas such as parks, school zones, and public housing. In general, if they are labeled as a “drug-free’ zone, penalties for selling drugs in or near these areas can be more severe. If you have been charged with distributing drugs in a public park or in public housing, it is imperative that you contact a reputable drug crime lawyer to ensure that you mount an adequate defense.
