Controlled Substance Statutory Classification
SCHEDULE II CHARGE
Charge Category: Health & Safety Code Simple Possession (Schedule II Narcotic).
- Prop 47 / Misdemeanor Treatment: Simple possession under statutory thresholds defaults to misdemeanor citations unless disqualifying violent felony priors exist.
- Constructive Possession Standard: Mere presence in vehicle near drugs is insufficient. The State must prove dominion, control, and knowledge of narcotic character.
- Warrant Hold Mechanics: Even when drug charges permit citation release, an outstanding warrant acts as an immediate administrative detainer preventing jail discharge.
