Drug Manufacturing

Many times an individual accused of drug manufacturing may have had their rights violated due to law enforcement not having the appropriate warrant or probable cause to conduct a search. In order for law enforcement to conduct of drug search to be legal, law enforcement agencies or officers must have a valid warrant or probable cause (reasonable belief of guilt – more than mere suspicion.) When a search is improperly conducted or probable cause cannot be substantiated, a person’s rights have been violated. Proof of an unwarranted search could result in the suppression of drug evidence and could make all the difference in the outcome of drug manufacturing case.

One of the most common forms of drug manufacturing in Florida is the manufacturing of Methamphetamine (meth). Law enforcement not only pursues meth labs because they are illegal, but due to the dangerous, toxic, and flammable chemicals involved in meth manufacturing, innocent victims and significant property damage may occur in explosions or fire.

Penalties for drug manufacturing in Florida vary widely. Drug manufacturing is typically prosecuted more aggressively than drug possession, because an individual possessing a drug isn't necessarily involved in the drug industry except as a user. A drug manufacturer, however, makes money off of making and selling an illegal substance that can reach many people. The severity of the punishment will vary depending on the type of drug, volume of the drug produced, and how involved the individual was in manufacturing. Typically in Florida, a drug manufacturing offense results in a minimum 3 year prison sentence and heavy fines.
