Which scenario represents constructive possession?

Constructive possession refers to a situation where an individual does not have physical possession of an item but has the ability and intent to control it, often inferred from the circumstances surrounding the situation. In the scenario where drugs are found in a drawer of a friend's house, the concept of constructive possession applies more clearly.

This is because the drawer, while not necessarily in the individual's direct control, can still be associated with them through their relationship to the property and their potential access to it. The presence of drugs in this context indicates that the individual could potentially exercise control over the drugs, fulfilling the criteria for constructive possession.

In contrast, holding drugs in one’s hands represents actual possession rather than constructive possession. The visibility of a drug dealer's house from the street does not directly imply possession, and the scenario where drugs are carried by another individual indicates that the first person does not have any control over those drugs at that moment. Both of these scenarios do not demonstrate the legal concept of constructive possession effectively.
