What is Drug Possession Near Schools Under 720 ILCS 570/405?
Drug possession near schools means drug crimes committed within 1,000 feet of schools or parks. This enhancement automatically doubles sentences and eliminates probation options for any underlying drug offense.
Unlike standard drug cases, school zone cases involve complex geographic evidence including distance measurements, school boundary determinations, and mapping evidence. However, these procedures may contain technical flaws and constitutional violations that experienced defense attorneys can challenge to win cases.
The key to defending drug possession near schools charges lies in attacking the reliability of distance measurements and constitutional violations during arrest.
