Busted! That's what happened Thursday to several Boise area smoke shop owners. I knew something was up before the story hit the news because someone called my office Thursday and said, "Do you or any of the other Boise Criminal Lawyers know why the cops are surrounding all the smoke shops in the area?"
Drug raids are nothing new to criminal attorneys, they just happen to be fairly unusual in the Boise area. The topic of the raids was a little different from your ordinary raid. Criminal lawyers are used to hearing about raids on individuals manufacturing meth or a marijuana farms but this had to do with paraphernalia and Spice. The smoke shops had been under surveillance for several weeks and several of the shops sold Spice to undercover agents.
Many people ask me as a Boise Criminal Attorney why selling to an undercover agent doesn't constitute being "framed". Entrapment, the technical word for being framed, would mean that you didn't have a propensity to commit the crime. If you are all ready committing the crime, the use of undercover agents is simply to establish evidence against you.
The U. S. Attorney for the Boise area said that the smoke shops were selling drug paraphernalia under the guise of smoking accoutrements. Paraphernalia? Really? It makes this criminal attorney wonder why the feds haven't got anything else better to do. You might recall a previous pseudo raid in Boise a few years ago when the Red Eye Hut was shut down for selling paraphernalia. Why can Jackson's sell rolling papers? Of course the answer is because they can be used to roll cigarettes. So what makes a marijuana pipe a marijuana pipe? Couldn't someone use a glass pipe to smoke tobacco? If you can sell rolling papers at the local Jackson's, and they have a dual purpose; to roll cigarettes with and to roll marijuana joints with, why can't a smoke shop sell a glass pipe if it too has the same two functions? These are a few questions I would pose to the prosecuting attorney, the judge and the jury.
Now Spice is a different story. It is a cannabinoid and can be used to get high. It's unregulated and potential dangerous. According to the U.S. Attorney, many of the shop owners were openly selling Spice. Spice was made illegal in the past few years, once it was detected to be a cannabinoid.
If you need a Boise Criminal Lawyer for a drug charge, including possession of marijuana, meth, paraphernalia or any other criminal charge, give us a call (208) 472-2383 and see what we can do for you.

Boise Criminal Law Lawyers - DUI Attorneys - Criminal Defense in Idaho - Police Sting and Juvenile Related Crime
Boise Criminal Law Lawyers, Boise DUI Attorneys, Criminal Defense Law Firm in Idaho, call (208) 472-2383. Set up your free consultation today - Criminal Defense, DUI, DWP, all criminal charges in Idaho.
Over the weekend Boise Police set up a sting operation in an attempt to curb and regulate local Boise business from selling alcohol to and adults buying alcohol for minors. Boise Criminal Lawyers have seen the number of arrests in Idaho for juvenile crime decrease over the past few years as a result of a task force created to prevent and reduce underage drinking and alcohol related crime such as DUI and crime committed under the influence of alcohol. Juvenile crime, specifically minor in possession of alcohol, consumption and DUI decreased over the past few years. In 2007 there were 1026 DUI arrests and 4152 liquor law violations. In 2009 there were 920 arrests for minor DUI and 4361 Liquor law violations (EUDL p. 5). Boise Criminal Lawyers have see, the number of minor DUI decrease while liquor law violations increased. The number of consumption tickets that Boise Criminal Lawyers are seeing, however, has also decreased. In 2009 there were 36 minor drunkenness tickets issued and 53 in 2007.
Juvenile crime is likely to lead to adult crime, whether is an alcohol related crime like DUI or more violent crimes such as assault and battery and aggravated assault or serious crimes like theft, burglary and possession or trafficking of drugs. According to the EUDL, when a juvenile begins drinking before the age of 15 they are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence in the future and 2 and 1/2 more likely to be alcohol abusers as adults. This is an important consideration because a 2009 Idaho Crime reports shows that 91.7% of suspects in crime in Idaho used alcohol during the commission of their crime. As a Boise Criminal Lawyer I have seen a similar percentage of alcohol use in the commission of crime among the criminal law cases I see.
In addition, this is a serious problem because of the cost of juvenile drinking crimes to the state of Idaho. The Pacific Institute reported in 2007 that the cost of underage drinking in Idaho is $1,650 per youth in Idaho. Idaho has created a task force to deal with the problem of underage drinking and underage possession of alcohol. The task force includes education, training and community commitment. In addition, Idaho laws not only punish juveniles for alcohol possession, but Idaho also focuses on punishing adults who facilitate underage drinking.
If you need to speak to a Boise Criminal Lawyer for a juvenile crime or other crime in Idaho, please call (208) 472-2383. On our website you will find more information on the subject of crime in Idaho, or if you like you can fill out a quick contact form and one of our Boise Criminal Lawyers will get back to you immediately.

Boise Criminal Lawyers - DUI Attorneys - Boise Criminal Defense Lawyers
Boise Criminal Lawyers, DUI Attorneys, Boise Criminal Defense Lawyers, call (208) 472-2383 for a free consultation, criminal defense, DUI, DWP.
Boise Criminal Lawyers see a variety of crime in the Boise area. Although the Boise Police Department reports that the number of crimes in Boise, Idaho are down for the past six years, the Idaho Statesman continually reports on the variety of crime taking place in the Treasure Valley.
Today's paper highlighted three sex crimes and one drug crime. The sex crimes were sexual assault, lewd conduct and child porn. The drug charges consisted of possession of marijuana with the intent to, trafficking marijuana, manufacture of marijuana and possession of meth.
Even though the three sex crimes are all sex crimes, Boise Criminal Lawyers see them differently primarily because of the nature of the underlying crime and the penalties associated with each. The sexual assault case is an unsolved case to date. Boise Police are looking for a man who assault a woman at Winstead Park in Boise. They believe that this assault is related to several others in the area. As a Boise Criminal Lawyer I feel that if the man is detained and charged and the evidence is there that he would be charged with numerous charges of sexual assault and if convicted will face a very long prison sentence.
The lewd conduct charge involved a 21 year old man and a 15 year old girl. Lewd conduct with a minor under the age of 16 is a felony and punishable by life in prison. The other sex crime reported in Boise today was a child porn case. For possession of child pornography, if found guilty, the accused can be put in the Idaho State Pen for up to ten years and be fined up to $10,000.
The fourth crime reported in the Idaho Statesman today is a drug charge for possession with the intent to distribute marijuana, trafficking marijuana, the manufacture of marijuana and possession of meth. As a Boise Criminal Lawyer I see the penalty for all four of these charges as potentially stiffer than the lewd conduct or the child pornography, simply because of the extent and number of charges. Like the sexual assault, it is the number of charges against the defendant that will ultimately create a larger sentence.

Boise Criminal Lawyers - Criminal Attorneys Boise, Idaho - Felony, Misdemeanor, Possession, Drugs, Burglary, Theft, Aggravated Assault, Assault and Battery, Criminal Defense
Boise Criminal Lawyers Attorneys, Criminal Defense Lawyer Attorney in Boise, Idaho, call for a free consultation (208) 472-2383, felony, misdemeanor, possession, drug charges, burglary, theft, aggravated assault, assault and battery, all criminal defense.
The City of Boise recently released new crime statistics that show that crime in Boise has dropped again for the sixth consecutive year. Burglary in Boise is at its lowest level since 1980. Boise Criminal Lawyers have noted the drop in crime, but what Boise Criminal Lawyers have also noted is that although the number of serious felony charges are down by 3.5% since 2009, there are more repeat offenders or offenses where a person is charged with multiple crimes, often felony charges but also misdemeanor and felony combined.
Overall there is a 25.8 decrease in serious felony charges since 2005. Boise Criminal Lawyers hear the Boise Police attribute the decrease in felony crimes like burglary, assault and battery, aggravated battery, possession or trafficking to community participation. The Boise Police Department says that burglary is a crime of opportunity, meaning that if we as a community leave our doors unlocked and windows open or things of value in plain sight, that we are more likely be to victims of a serious felony like burglary. Boise Criminal Lawyers also hear the Boise Police attribute the drop in serious felony crimes like burglary, theft, aggravated assault, assault and battery, trafficking or drug possession, to citizens keeping their eyes open and reporting criminal activity or suspicious behavior.
The number of calls for police service in Boise dropped from 188,260 in 2006 to 166,293 in 2010. This represents a decrease of 3.2%. What is of particular interest to Boise Criminal Lawyers is the number of infractions v. felony v. misdemeanor resulting in citations or court cases. The number of infractions in Boise actually increased from 2006 going fom 29,340 to 34,680 in 2010. The number of misdemeanors also increased from 2006 to 2010 jumping from 10,345 to 12,443. Although the figures are not available for felony charges until 2008 they also increased substantially from 342 to 2,365.
Also of interest to Boise Criminal Lawyers is the number of jail arrests. Felony arrests in Boise decreased from 2006 to 2010 from 1,468 to 1,194. The number of misdemeanor jail arrests in Boise between 2006 to 2010 dropped from 6,997 to 4,534.
So these are the City of Boise statistics but as a Boise Criminal Lawyer I have some questions about the soundness of these statistics. My first question as a Boise Criminal Lawyer for the statistics department for the city of Boise would be, if the number of bookings in the Ada County jail decreased, but the number of court cases increased, has the crime actually decreased in Boise or are our police booking fewer cases? Is the fewer number of calls to the Boise Police reflective of lessor crime when they suggest that community enforcement has increased? Wouldn't there be more calls initiated by citizens if they as a group were keeping a watchful eye? Maybe questionable interpretation of statistics should be a crime in Idaho!
If you have been charged with a crime in Boise or in Idaho and need to speak to a Boise Criminal Lawyer please call (208) 472-2383 or visit our website for valuable information and you can fill out a quick contact form and one of our Boise Criminal Lawyers will get right back to you.

Boise Criminal Lawyers Role in a Criminal Law Case in Idaho
The role of a Boise criminal lawyer will differ depending upon the criminal charge in Idaho.

Boise Criminal Lawyer Talks About Drugs, Possession and Trafficking Charges
As a Boise Criminal Lawyer I am often asked about drugs, possession and trafficking. Specifically, people often what to know and want lawyers to tell them how much marijuana constitutes trafficking? They also like to ask attorneys what the penalty for trafficking drugs is.
According to the Idaho Code anyone who knowingly delivers or brings into the state or who is in possession of 1 pound of marijuana (but less than five) or twenty-five marijuana plants, is guilty of the felony of trafficking marijuana. For this amount of marijuana there is a mandatory 1 year prison sentence and at least a $5,000 fine. If you are caught with between 5 and 20 pounds of marijuana or between 50-100 marijuana plants you will be sentenced to a minimum of three years in prison and no less than a $10,000 fine. The penalty continues to increase until it reaches a maximum of 15 years in prison and a minimum fine of $50,000.
As a criminal defense attorney I can tell you that if you are charged with trafficking marijuana, you want to make certain you have the best criminal defense lawyer or attorney because the state is very strict about drugs and trafficking.
