A:
It's understandable to feel worried about this situation. The fact that the officers let you go initially could mean they were more interested in gathering information rather than making an arrest at that moment. However, the possibility of legal trouble isn't entirely off the table.
If they found paraphernalia in the car and you were present, there's a chance they could still pursue charges, especially if they suspect you know more about it. Not cooperating with their request for information might frustrate them, but it doesn't automatically mean you'll be arrested.
Your best course of action is to consult with a legal professional who can give you personalized advice based on your specific circumstances. They can help you understand your rights and the best way to protect yourself. Remember, staying informed and seeking legal counsel is key in situations like these.
