Being charged with Transportation of Drugs for Sale in Arizona is a serious crime. Most of these types of cases arise from a simple traffic stop. The officer may not have suspicion of a crime at the time of the stop, and simply be pulling the driver over for a traffic infraction, such as speeding or another violation. However, law enforcement officers are trained in drug interdiction and may be looking for signs of suspicious criminal activity during the traffic stop.

During a traffic stop, a law enforcement officer is looking for signs that a crime may have been committed. Many times, the officer will try to engage drivers in conversation. They will usually ask questions like:

• Where are you going?
• Where are you coming from?
• Do you live around here?
• Do you have drugs in the vehicle?

The officer will be looking for signs that you are nervous or have something to hide. You do not have to answer these questions and criminal defense attorneys will tell you not to answer these questions. You should never lie to a police officer, but you do not have to forward information and you should never consent to a search.

Penalties for a Transportation of Drugs for Sale conviction can be severe and will depend on the type and amount of the illegal drugs involved, as well as the individual’s prior criminal record.
