Generally, for a court to find that a person had constructive possession of an object, the person must have had knowledge of the object, and as well as the ability to control it. For example, someone with keys to a safe deposit box may have constructive possession to the contents of that box.

For example, you might be arrested for attempted possession of a controlled substance if you are caught trying to buy drugs from a drug dealer, but the drug dealer does not actually give you the drugs.

Whether your constructive possession case involves illegal drugs, firearms, or anything else, the penalties can be detrimental. You could face fines, probation, imprisonment, and more, not to mention the hardships that can come from having a criminal record.

You have “actual” possession of something when you hold it or have immediate access to it. This includes having it somewhere on your body, or in something you are holding or wearing. Example: Martin keeps a switchblade in the pocket of his jacket.

For example, if someone is holding a bag of illegal drugs in their hand, they would be considered to have actual possession of the drugs. Constructive possession, on the other hand, does not require direct physical control but involves having the ability and intention to exercise control over an object.
