Drugs Possession - Possession of a controlled substance

Wisconsin Laws

Possession doesn't always mean physical possession - called actual possession. There is such a thing under the law as "constructive possession", which means although the person did not actually possess the substance, they had control over the drugs. That type of control over the drugs would exist if the drugs were in a purse, or in the trunk or glove compartment of a car.

:: Straight Talk ::

Remember, simply knowing drugs are present somewhere does not mean that you possessed them. It is the government's responsibility to prove that the person charged had the ability to possess them. It is not necessarily a crime to know that drugs are located in a certain spot.
