Q: A friend, coworker, and a neighbor of mine was caught selling drugs directly to an undercover can I be implemented?
We used to take cabs from work together and hang out sometimes after work the investigation started in July and the got him this Tuesday before the holidays ... can I be implemented for being a coworker, neighbor, friend ? I had no idea of his dealings we are just coworkers who smoke some herb and shoot the breeze I never sold in my life and not tryna be in that picture am I safe or can there be a warrant out for me as well ?
A: It is possible for you to be implicated if the authorities believe you are involved in selling as well. It is also possible for you to be implicated if you were found to be in possession of drugs while they were investigating your friend. However, simply being friends with this person is not enough to bring charges against you without more. If you are ever contacted by law enforcement, do not speak with them and immediately call an attorney.
