My boyfriend was pulled over a few weeks ago and they asked him if they could search his car he said yes. They did not find anything so they searched it again and found a small bag with hardly enough in it to get high off of. Now he is in trouble for possesion.What should he do. Help

He should get a lawyer. The drugs were in his car, so they were in his possession. Next time he'll probably be smart enough not to give permission for a search.

Well first off you should never ever give consent to search any vehicle. If you say no they cannot search without probable cause which means the bag would have to be lying out in plain sight. This is true in ALL 50 States.
Since consent was given and I am assuming that they found a green leafy substance...this is just a misdemeanor and will be a fine usually. An attorney will probably cost more than the fine, but I would recommend consulting with one in your area to be sure.

File a motion to supress as your boyfriend didn't consent to the second search only the first search. I would also attack on the grounds that they didn't have probable cause to stop the car in the first place.

Usually the person the car is registered to is the person who gets in trouble

Here is a thought from the great mr Jim Carry,"QUIT BREAKIN THE LAW ASSHOLE!" Cop a plea, act apologetic, cry beg for mercy..maybe , if it is first offence, he will get off light.

get a lawyer, plead guilty, cop the fine and community service and give up the drugs. they can lead to Death or a stretched butt hole by ending up as someone b*tch in Jail(Gaol)
