Florida is the port of entry of many drug trafficking activities.<\/h2><\/div>
<\/p>\n
Florida is known for its wonderful theme parks, beaches, and food. And it’s also notorious for drug traffickers bringing dangerous substances into the US. Colombia is the main producer of cocaine– the most used drug in Florida.<\/div>\n

<\/div><\/div>[vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1624530744259{margin-top: 50px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The state has all kinds of transportation–by air and sea– bringing drugs across the state. That’s the reason people in Florida can be easily exposed to drugs– and accused of being involved.<\/div>\n
\u25cf\u00a0 Before the end of the first quarter of 2021, there were 30 pounds of cocaine seized– amounting to $330,000<\/div>\n
\u25cf A few days after the incident, a group of Florida drug traffickers was convicted for another large-scale cocaine operations<\/div>\n
\u25cf At the start of the second quarter of 2021, a man has been arrested after he picked up a FedEx package containing 258 grams of cocaine<\/div>\n

Already accused? These are the penalties you face<\/h2><\/div>
<\/p>\n

Penalties for drug trafficking<\/div>\n
\u25cf Prison: Even for first time offenders, prison sentences in cases of drug trafficking can be for more than a year.<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0– Up to 25 years jail time<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0– Mandatory minimum sentences<\/div>\n
\u25cf Fines: Fines associated with drug trafficking offenses are pretty hefty<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u25cb State convictions can commonly result in fines of $25,000 to $100,000 or more.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
\n
\n
\u00a0 \u25cb Federal drug trafficking convictions can see fines in the hundreds of thousands at the least.<\/div>\n
\u25cf Probation: Probation can be possible in some drug trafficking cases, but this is usually only an option as part of a plea bargain, where the offender agrees to plead guilty to a lesser charge. The penalty could also be a combination of any of the above, so keep in mind that it is unlikely for you to get just one of the above as a punishment. The penalties for drug trafficking will depend on many factors, such as:<\/div>\n
\u25cf Quantity of the drug<\/div>\n
\u25cf Type of drug<\/div>\n
\u25cf Your past criminal history<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Drug conviction can impact all areas of your life<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
\n
Once a drug conviction appears on your record, it can be difficult to have it sealed or expunged.<\/div>\n
\u25cf It negatively affects your immigration status<\/div>\n
\u25cf It eliminates your chances for certain types of future employment<\/div>\n
\u25cf It affects your school, your work, and even your family<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
