Can A Person Be Found Guilty Of Possessing Drugs Even When No Drugs Were Found On You?
In a possession case, the Crown is required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused had knowledge and control of the drugs in question. One can be found to have been in possession of drugs even if actual drugs were not found on one’s person. For example, the drug may be in possession of another person at a specific residence, which the accused has knowledge about.
You can also be charged with possession of the purpose of trafficking without the police having observed the trafficking occurred.
