My question involves criminal law for the state of: Oregon
I was with some friends and we got pulled over by a sheriff, and he smelt pot in the car, and there was 3 baggys with from 1-3 grams of pot in each under my passenger seat. The driver gave him permission to search the car and he found them. I didn't have any on my person. The driver was sober. Since I didn't have it on me (but it was under my seat), should I plead not guilty? If I plead not guilty will I have to have a trial? All I have on my record is an MIP (alcohol) from two years ago. If I plead not guilty will the other guys get in more trouble? Will I lose my license? thanks.
