What Happens When The Police Get Your Drug Dealer's Mobile Phone?

Posted on 12 May 2016

Studies indicate that U.S. residents are a little lax about their mobile phones—they lose about 1 a year and about 34% of users don't even bother to take any security precautions at all to protect the information on those phones. That can end up opening the door to some trouble for both the owners of those phones and their contacts—especially if the owner happens to be dealing drugs. If you occasionally indulge in illicit drugs (including marijuana), this is some information that you need to know about what can happen when your dealer's phone falls into police possession.

About Me

Divorce Attorney or Do-It-Yourself?

Hi, and welcome to my website. My name is Janice Flannigan, and the reason for this blog is to share my divorce experience. My ex-husband and I started out thinking we could divorce without attorneys. We thought things would be cut and dry. All we had to do was figure out our assets and split them down the middle. We don’t have children, so there would be no custody or child support issues. We both work full-time, so there would be no alimony concerns. The process should've be simple, right? On paper it sounded easy, but what the paper doesn’t tell you is that emotions are going to come into play. It’s a divorce after all. How can the parties not become emotional? We ended up hiring attorneys, and both felt better about the process. I hope I can help you should you ever be in a similar situation.
