Car Accident Lawyers

Do you know what drug trafficking is? Are drug traffickers people who produce and distribute drugs in isolation or are they necessarily associated with the so-called drug cartels? Why are drug traffickers given the opportunity to be defended before justice? Is it possible that drug trafficking being one of the greatest evils in the world today, there are lawyers who defend the accused of this kind of offenses?

Drug trafficking is nothing but the production, distribution and sale of drugs that are illegal. Drug trafficking begins with the people who produce the drug, that in the case of drugs obtained naturally, are farmers who grow crops and who see in this as a way out of poverty. These peasants are not necessarily part of the drug cartels, nor are the people who traffic with small amounts to earn some money to improve their economy, although they usually end up being consumers who spend everything they have because they become drug addicts.

Even drug cartels are not always big organizations. Sometimes, they are just urban gangs fighting among themselves to win a territory to distribute the drug, other times they are multimillionaire empires led by powerful people.

Do you know what the Legal Assistance to the Detained is? Do you know if all detainees have the right to request it?

The Legal Assistance is the right that the person who is accused of a crime has to have a fair process and a trial. It is a constitutional right of every citizen. And it comes to materialize when a lawyer ensures that each of the rights of the detainee is met from the beginning of the process (meaning that the detainee is properly informed of his rights, that he is informed of the reasons for his arrest, that at no time is the physical integrity of the detainee jeopardized, that self-incrimination due to ignorance is avoided, and that in general a legal process is carried out according to the proceedings).

Do you know what your rights are when you are arrested, even if detention has taken place in another country?
