A: You have not stated what you are questioning. What drug was involved? What was the purported reason for the stop? What was the charge? Obviously you are unsure of what has happened, but apparently you are in trouble. Hire a competent attorney now. Do not contact the "friends" that got you in trouble. Might be time for a new phone.
