    Default What to Do if Somebody Put Drugs Into Your Bag

    A man was driving a truck and was pulled over by the police. The police conducted a search of the vehicle and found drugs in a bag in the back of the truck. The bag belonged to the driver, but the bag was loaded into the truck by the passenger. The police were watching when the bag was placed into the truck, so that's not in dispute. The passenger claims that he did not know that the drugs were in the bag. How can the driver prove that the passenger is lying and that the drugs were placed in the bag by the passenger, without his knowledge?

    The driver needs to work with a good criminal defense lawyer, and see what evidence he can come up with as to the source of the drugs and how they got into the bag. It was his truck and his bag, so he's in a tough spot. If there is evidence that will prove that the passenger is lying, it's nothing we can tell you about.

    If forensic testing was performed, perhaps trace evidence or fingerprints will connect the drugs to the passenger, in which case he will have to explain why he was lying. But even that won't prove that the driver didn't know about the drugs.
