    Can I Be Charged With Possession of Drugs if I Was Only Cited for a Curfew Violation
    My question involves juvenile law in the State of: California
    I am 17 and got caught with some one after curfew. And during a search through my car the officer found a pipe and a very small amount of marijuana. He then cited us for the curfew violation and confiscated the pot. I am wondering if I can get charged with the pot still and if the judge will bring it up during court.

    A drug charge may still be forthcoming.

    How much pot did the cop find?

    Of course you can be charged.

    It was in your car.

    That means you possessed it.

    Easy conviction.

    I would guess that the pot is no longer available - either tossed or smoked. just my guess. if not, they can charge you for a while yet...years.

    you consented to the search of your car for what reason?

    Maybe they towed the car away?

    Anywho, if they wish to charge him with having some weed, he'll get an information or complaint served upon him. Recommend he keeps his mouth shut at trial...if he has one. He could plead guilty if he chooses.
