Possession of Illegal Explosives Charges in Kansas City, MO
Possession of Illegal Explosives | Kansas City Criminal Defense Attorney Matthew O’Connor
Possession of illegal explosives is considered a weapon offense or violation in Missouri, and will result in serious punishment for those convicted. Some examples of illegal explosives include pipe bombs, cherry bombs, M-80s, or any substance that can be made to explode such as an incendiary device. When a person is charged by the federal government and found guilty, the punishment generally involves jail time. Regardless of whether you have been wrongfully accused or have been arrested and have a criminal history, it is critical to speak with a highly qualified Kansas City criminal defense lawyer right away. At The O’Connor Law Firm we fight vigorously, providing exceptional legal guidance regardless of whether a client’s case is resolved in or out of the courtroom.
Kansas City, MO Penalties for Possession of Illegal Explosives
The penalties for possessing illegal explosives are wide ranging, depending on a number of factors including criminal history and whether the offense is tried at the state or federal level. It is illegal to carry explosive devices that are concealed in schools, bars, government buildings, public areas such as amusement parks, and many other locations. If convicted, the defendant may face several years in prison along with fines of between $100 and $5,000. Those who are convicted felons and found guilty of possession of illegal explosives will face up to 15 years in prison. Because most weapons offenses are considered a federal offense, the penalties may be even more severe.
It is important to keep in mind that every person has constitutional rights that must not be violated, and that you are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Police may have seized evidence by performing an illegal search, or undercover agents may have worked in conjunction with informants in a manner considered “shady” or questionable. Your defense attorney will work tirelessly to expose any actions that could be unconstitutional or compromise the prosecutor’s case.
