What is constructive possession in Florida?

Monday, February 9, 2009 by Erick Trivedi

In Florida, constructive possession means that even though a person did not have contraband on them, the item was within their control... for example, a person driving their own car is found with marijuana or ecstacy in the center console... even though several defenses exist, the state can validly charge that this person constructively possessed the drugs.

These cases often have good chances of being won at trial because the State's burden is rather overwhelming.

California criminal law outlaws the possession of drug paraphernalia such as meth pipes, opium pipes, etc.  However, marijuana is not covered under the section prohibiting controlled substances, therefore the simple possession of a marijuana or cannab...
