Consequences of a Drug Crime in New York
Narcotics investigators at the local, state and federal level are very serious about making arrests that prosecutors and courts can convict. The cost of dealing with the effects of drug addictions and law enforcement's campaign to stop drug crimes has soared into many billions of dollars. The penalties for conviction of any drug offense have become far harsher and have great consequences on a convicted person's life. As an example, a person alleged to be involved in drug sales may have his home, vehicle, bank account or other assets seized by the government and a resident alien accused of a drug crime can face deportation.
