San Diego Law Enforcement Admits Drug Tests Are Not Accurate: Why You Need to Fight Your San Diego Drug Charges

In San Diego, the law enforcement team that combats narcotics is known as Team 8. Team 8 uses kits to test whether substances that they find are drugs. One of these kits is called a Nik Kit. The Nik Kit is used to test whether a substance is cocaine base.

The San Diego Police Department Lab has recently discovered that the Nik Kits are not always accurate. In fact, they sometimes read false positives. This means that the Nik Kits may show a result that a substance is cocaine base when it is in fact not cocaine base. Both SDPD and the San Diego District Attorney’s office are aware of the problems with the Nik Kits. However, the Nik Kits are still being used.

If you have been arrested in San Diego for a drug crime, and a Nik Kit was used as evidence in order to arrest you, make sure you hire an experienced San Diego criminal defense lawyer who knows how to fight for you. You will need a lawyer who knows how to properly investigate your case to achieve the best possible outcome in your case. Can you imagine what would happen if you hired a lawyer who did not know about the problems of the Nik Kit test? It might result in a conviction or a prison sentence, which might have been avoided had your lawyer known about the problems with the San Diego Nik Kit.
