According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy, use of illegal drugs correlates with the commission of other crimes. A fact sheet published in 2000 indicated that "illicit drug users were ... about 16 times more likely than nonusers to report being arrested and booked for larceny or theft; more than 14 times more likely to be arrested and booked for such offenses as driving under the influence, drunkenness, or liquor law violations; and more than 9 times more likely to be arrested and booked on an assault charge."

Government Interest in Drug Control
Illicit Drugs Identified
Given the connection between drug crimes and other crimes, it is obvious why the government has a strong interest in making drug arrests. Alabama is as serious as the federal government in the war against the use, possession, trafficking, distribution, manufacturing, possession with intent to distribute and conspiracy to possess or manufacture illicit drugs. These drugs may include marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, and many others. Individuals who have been charged with offenses involving any of these drugs need vigorous legal counsel to ensure that their Constitutional rights to a fair defense are protected.
