I needed a ride to work in the morning it was early morning he got pulled over for expired plates he was a coworker and he was fired. The sheriff in pounded the car and we had to walk from the interstate. They gave him a ticket for expired plates and half less than half ounce of marijuana. They gave me the same ticket for less than a half an ounce and he was just a coworker that I needed a ride to work with. I couldn’t drive at that time because I have seizures and I had to be six months seizure free and my mom can take me to work that day so I called a coworker for a ride can I fight this
A: It is possible for multiple occupants of a vehicle to be found guilty of drug possession charges when there are drugs in the car. That being said, the burden is on the prosecution and, depending on the specific facts of the case, all vehicle occupants may not be guilty if one person has illegal drugs on their person. You should contact a criminal defense attorney to discuss your case. If you can't afford an attorney, you can ask for a public defender to be appointed to defend you.
