Lawyer for Federal Drug Charges in Oregon: Possession With Intent To Deliver, Delivery, Manufacturing And Conspiracies.
Federal prosecution usually targets cases where police seize a large quantity of controlled substances, or conspiracies against drug trafficking networks involving many defendants that have operated for long periods of time.
Conspiracy law favors the Government: A defendant need only have a slight connection to the drug trafficking scheme to be charged as a member of the conspiracy.

The Constitutions of the United States, and the State of Oregon, protect individuals from prosecution based on evidence obtained in violation of the rights against illegal search and seizure, and illegal confessions.
The Constitutions also bar the use of evidence police find by exploiting an illegal search, seizure or confession.
This is called the "Fruit of the Poisonous Tree" doctrine.
The federal and state Constitutions preserve these fundamental rights, but if you do not assert these rights in court, you lose them.
