You will have to contact a lawyer. To many variables and you don't state if it was a felony conviction or not.
This would likely fall under double jeopardy.
No, It's possession of a narcotic paraphernalia
The man was arrested after the police searched his home and found drug paraphernalia. I brought my sports paraphernalia to the game
If carved INTO some fashion of drug paraphernalia then yes. A cola bottle and a bag can be legally classed as drug paraphernalia when used for the intake of drugs.
You can't be convicted unless you are found guilty. You can't be found guilty if you were never brought to court. You can't be brought to court if you were never arrested, or charged.
Here's what I got from the state: A person commits an offense if the person knowingly or intentionally uses or possesses with intent to use drug paraphernalia. A person commits an offense if the person knowingly or intentionally delivers, possesses with intent to deliver, or manufactures with intent to deliver drug. An offense for possession of drug paraphernalia is a Class C misdemeanor an offense for delivery of drug paraphernalia is a Class A misdemeanor if the defendant has no paraphernalia convictions. There are numerous provisions that allow the state to enhance the punishment ranges for possession of drug paraphernalia and subsequent charges can greatly enhance the ranges of punishments. Once convicted you may be given deferred adjudication: You will have a criminal record! You can get it sealed by petition the same court with or without an attorney. Of course the non attorney route is the lease expensive.
Yes possession of drug paraphernalia is against the law.
No you can't knowingly sell "drug paraphernalia." You can sell paraphernalia, like rolling papers, pipes, etc., for use with tobacco products.
Yes. You can be charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.
If you were charged with a higher penalty crime and it was reduced to poss. of drug paraphernalia i would be happy with that. If you try to get it reduced more it probably won't do any good. Chances are if you talk with the DA of that area you may be able to convince them to give you community service, etc. Depending on their laws and local restrictions.
Yes
In Pennsylvania, this means possession of drug paraphernalia.
