Constructive possession means the person has the item on his or her person.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false.


Answer: False.

Unlike direct possession, constructive possession does not require a person to have an item on his or her person. Rather, constructive possession involves a person knowing that something is stored in a location under that person's "dominion and control." For example, someone with keys to a safe deposit box may have constructive possession to the contents of that box.
