Daegu Drug Specialist Attorney | Daegu Attorney Defends a Client Accused of Violating the Narcotics Control Act With Non-Prosecution

The Daegu drug specialist attorney set out to ascertain the facts of the case in order to defend the client.

The client, who normally had a strong sense of justice, was a young man who dreamed of becoming a police officer.

From an older acquaintance he had met at a study group preparing for the police examination, he received a certain proposal.

The proposal was to lure 🔗drug offenders and report them to the investigative authorities.

The client, thinking of it as a sting operation and a matter for the public good, accepted the proposal.

Afterward, he began posting messages through random chat and social media to lure drug offenders.

Due to these facts, the client came to be investigated by the police for violation of the Narcotics Control Act, and requested assistance from the Daegu drug attorney.

Charges against the client:

Notwithstanding that no person may widely disseminate or present to others information on acts prohibited under the Narcotics Control Act by the methods prescribed in Article 2, subparagraph 2 of the “Act on Fair Labeling and Advertising,” the client widely disseminated and presented to others, by telecommunications methods, information on the administration of narcotics using social media and the like.

The Daegu narcotics specialist attorney focused on the part of the client's charges alleging that he had "widely informed and presented information about narcotics administration to others by means of telecommunication."

It is true that he posted text alluding to narcotics in order to lure narcotics offenders.

The Daegu narcotics attorney argued that the narcotics slang phrase "Want to have a cold drink?" that the client posted could not be said to fall within the "information" that Article 3, Item 12 of the Narcotics Control Act prohibits from being widely informed or presented to others.

The provision of Article 3, Item 12 of the Narcotics Control Act:

Prohibits the act of widely informing or presenting to others "information" about the use, possession, ownership, management, importation, sale, or arrangement of the sale of narcotics, by the methods prescribed in Article 2, Item 2 of the "Act on Fair Labeling and Advertising."

The Daegu attorney emphasized, based on existing precedents and other grounds, that guilt was recognized only when a post stated precisely that narcotics were being sold, or when at least the specific name and nickname of the narcotics were posted, so that anyone could tell that the poster possessed the posted narcotics and was selling them.

The Daegu drug attorney argued that the client had not anticipated at all that their conduct would constitute a crime and that the client was now deeply repentant and remorseful.

The client had merely intended to lure persons involved with drugs in order to report them for the public interest, and had no intent whatsoever to use drugs with such persons or to sell or arrange the sale of drugs.

The Daegu drug attorney emphasized the client's remorseful attitude and the fact that the conduct was not intentional.

The Daegu drug specialist attorney emphasized that the client was a law-abiding citizen with no criminal record of any kind.

This case, too, had begun simply out of a sense of justice aimed at serving the public good.

The Daegu drug attorney argued that the client was a law-abiding citizen with a strong sense of justice.
