My question involves criminal law for the state of: South Carolina
I'm 17 and I was sitting in my car in the school parking lot. A student walks by my car with a couple other people in it and exclaims that he thinks there are students smoking in a car. The teacher comes by and asks us to get out and come inside because it was during school hours. We are taken into a principal's office and told we smell like weed. They search all of us and found something on me and a friend of mine. The friend said that he put what was found on me without my knowledge. Due to where they found it; it is possible for me not to have known. He also said that anything they found in my car was all his.
My question is; is it possible for the simple possession of marijuana (44-53-370) on me to be dropped? As far as I know I wasn't charged for anything that was in my car. They found something in the jacket I was wearing; which I had borrowed from that same friend. A video camera that my friend had on him had at least one video of my friends smoking- and probably more. Is it possible that they could use that as evidence against me? I'm curious to know if a video of teenagers smoking (we could have been faking it for the video camera) could add up to a possession charge for me even if my friend said he put what was found on me without my knowledge.
