San Diego Cocaine Possession Defense

 Paris Hilton was arrested last August for cocaine possession.
Her Prosecutor, 47-year old Clark County David Schubert was arrested over the weekend on one count of cocaine  possession. Rumor has it that Schubert used another man, Raymond Streeter, to buy him $40 worth of rock cocaine every few days. Both Schubert and Streeter were arrested over the weekend after they were spotted driving in a neighborhood known for drug sales.  They were pulled over on a routine traffic stop, the car was searched and cocaine was found.

Clark County District Attorney supervisors have expressed disappointment in Schubert’s  arrest and placed him on administrative leave. The matter will be handled by the state’s Attorney General office, to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest.
Paris Hilton was ordered to complete 200 hours of community service and pay more than $2000 in fines. The penalties for Schubert may be much more grave as he faces the loss of his job and possible disciplinary action by the Nevada State Bar.

If you or a loved one have been charged with cocaine possession, call San Diego criminal lawyer Daniel Green at 800- for a free consultation today.

Students and DUIs

Why Students?
Students are at particular risk for getting DUIs. Part of this is the fact that most high school and college age students are not always completely responsible in their drinking habits. Another part is that cops harass younger people because the cops know they have an easier time intimidating them, and possibly giving them any sort of ticket.
Another option is that today’s students are less subtle about their substance abuse. It is well known that the legal drinking age of 21 doesn’t stop minors from drinking, and it may be that these current groups of young, student drinkers are simply less skilled at hiding their substance abuse than previous generations.
Whatever the reason, students are receiving more DUIs recently, from Washington to Indiana. This is bad news for students.
Consequences of DUIs
The consequences of getting a DUI can be severe. This is doubly so for students, who generally have much fewer resources than adults to deal with the DUIs.
First off, your license could be suspended. This has major repercussions not only for getting around to buy groceries and go to school, but also for getting and holding down jobs as well. This can ruin professional life.
Second, it goes on their permanent legal record. This will be checked not only by future employers, but also by car insurance companies. Employers will be less likely to hire you, and insurance companies will really jack up their rates for having a DUI. This will cost offenders lots of money over the course of your life.
Of course, if you actually are driving while under the influence there is always the chance that you will crash and kill or maim yourself, or others. This is the brutal truth, and why DUIs are punished so extremely.
