    Default Possession Of Marijuana And Possession Of Paraphenilia In Texas

    So last night me and my 2 friends were sitting in my neighborhood in my car smoking when a neighbor called the cops because they said they saw a suspicious vehicle. When the cops came we had time to hide the pipe and weed somewhat. The officer asked us to get out of the car and he searched us and found nothing he then asked to search the vehicle and i said no. He then had two other cops walk around the car when they said they saw a baggie of marijuana on the passenger floor board. After searching the car and finding 2 pipes and a bag of weed less that 1oz they asked us who's it was and we all said we didn't know. He charged all three of us with possession of marijuana and paraphernalia and we spent the night in jail. In the morning the judge came and asked us what we wanted to plea and we all said not guilty. Should i fight this and say that i am not guilty because i didn't know the pot was in the car or should i plea no contest?

    Pleading "no contest" would get you what? The court would treat it as a guilty plea.

    What you should do is consult a lawyer to see if you are eligible for first offender sentencing, which might let you avoid a conviction.

    With drugs and paraphernalia in various locations in the interior of your car, I doubt that you would be able to convince a jury both that none of it was yours, and that you had no idea that it was there.
