Are you saying that both the weed and the paraphernalia were in your friend's POCKETS...and you still got charged with possession? Generally, if illegal substances are within your reach, such as sitting on a seat, sitting on the dashboard, the console, or some other place that you have the ability to stick out an arm, turn around, or otherwise take ahold of the item immediately at will, you can be charged with possession, even if you never touched the stuff. If your friend had all the stuff in his pockets, then the attorney that you need should be able to help you get that information properly before the court; maybe even with the DA before your trial date.
See above. It all depends on who could reach it. It 4 people in the car could reach it, all 4 get tickets, whether it belongs to them or not. Google the term "constructive possession".I Dont even smoke and he told the cop that it was his and the cop was a dick and still gave me a ticket for it
Who owns the car is irrelevant.but I know that doesn't matter because it was in my car
But if you're driving in TX, your vehicle and it's tint need to be lawful in TX.It just sucka because everything I got charged with wasn't mine except the tint ( I'm from Arizona that's why it was dark)
Doesn't help you avoid the ticket or court. Might be the crux of your defense. That's why you need a lawyer. Because again, it doesn'tMATTER whose drugs they were - you can STILL be convicted of "possession" if the situation meets the definition of "possession", and it means MORE than something just belonging to you.and does that help me in anyway that the guy told the cop that it was his and I still got charged?
