Fort Lauderdale Criminal Defense Attorney Fact:

Injection is a common form of administration for drugs, particularly with opiates, cocaine and heroin. Drugs taken by injection can be intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously administered. In intravenous injections, the drug can go directly into the circulatory system and act immediately. This is extremely dangerous when administering street drugs, due to the impurities found in these compounds, errors in dosage, bubbles in the syringe and infections from puncturing the skin and vein. Intramuscular injections can also be fairly easily absorbed.

Fort Lauderdale Criminal Attorney - Search & Seizure

A search compromises the individual's interest in privacy. A “search” occurs when a constitutionally protected expectation of privacy that society is prepared to consider reasonable is infringed. The word “search” implies a quest by an officer of the law and is generally accepted to be an inspection or examination of places closed from public or general view.
While some minimum force or intrusion, however slight, is required to constitute a search, physical intrusion into a constitutionally protected area is not required.
A demand to disclose or produce a concealed object is treated as a search, as is the viewing of films belonging to a defendant that were lawfully obtained from a third party. A breathalyzer test is also a search. No search occurs, however, when a police officer asks what a concealed object is and the individual voluntarily produces it, or when a police officer places a key that had been lawfully seized in a lock.
Illustrations: A police officer's act of shining a flashlight into a defendant's vehicle after the defendant was arrested for gambling was not a “search” and thus did not implicate Fourth Amendment protections.
However, since a person's home is accorded the full range of Fourth Amendment protections because there is an expectation of privacy in one's dwelling, a nonconsensual entry into a home, a motel room, or other residence constitutes a search.
Observation: Compulsion of handwriting exemplars is neither a search nor a seizure subject to Fourth Amendment protections.
Furthermore, attempted but failed seizures of a person are beyond the scope of the Fourth Amendment.
