    Default Prosecution for Cocaine Use in a Photograph

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: co

    Hey,

    I just wanted to ask you guys a buddy of mine back in 2006 used cocaine but only once and never again. Now someone is saying to him they are going to get him arrested for using cocaine as they have a photo of him using it back then. Now can he be charged for possesion of cocaine even though he no longer has the cocaine based on this person saying that and showing them the photo of him using it? He just wants to get on with his life and doesn't want to end up in jail.

    It's too late to arrest him for doing something stupid.

    Tell your buddy to tell the would-be stoolie where to cram it.

    Yeahh I will tell my buddy to tell the stoolie where to cram it. Even though the stoolie is saying he can get him put in jail for possesion of cocaine back then as he has the photo of him using it. But I told him that it's been too many years since then that he can't be charged with it, plus he can't be charged as he aint in possesion of cocaine 'now'. ie how can he be charged with possesion of cocaine when he isn't in possesion of cocaine?

    What's in it for the stoolie. Is the stoolie blackmailing your friend?

    First....the cops have no way of PROVING it is cocaine in the pic. They have no way of running tests on something in a photo. To get a conviction, they run it through a testing process to prove it tested positive as being cocaine. Can't get a sample from a photo, ya know?

    Look at movies and TV shows...fake coke, fake marijuana, fake cigs even...

    Tell your friend not to worry. And also to cease all contact with his "stoolie" "friend".
