Lesson Overview

14.10 – What Happens if You Cross State Lines: Crossing state lines with drugs turns a local issue into a federal crime. Even if you didn’t plan to sell or trade, moving drugs from one state to another makes it trafficking. The government treats it as transporting controlled substances, which carries heavier punishment. Federal agents can join the case, and your trial might move to federal court. If the states involved have different laws, the stricter one usually applies. Police can stop and search vehicles if they suspect transportation. Even mailing or driving small amounts can trigger federal charges. Once the federal system takes over, sentences are longer and parole options fewer. Understanding that even a short trip can change your case level shows why it’s not worth the risk.
