“A recent case in which a man was charged in court with possession of cannabis – even though the police found no cannabis on his person – turns out to be far more commonplace than one would think. According to criminal lawyer Dr Joe Giglio, this case was no by means a one-off incident. In fact he claims that as many as half the cases pressed by the police for possession of illicit substances will not be based on the discovery of any drugs in the possession of the accused, adding that the police have a standard formula for how to extract such confessions from unwitting suspects.”
