You do. If you can prove in a court of law that you didn't know about them, they might then turn onto your friend who owns the car.

You may get arrested, however, since the car belongs to someone else, unless you admit to the drug ownership you will not likely be prosecuted.
That is why big time drug dealers use rental cars, planes, and boats.
The police do have the right to confiscate the car, and if the drugs exceed a certain limit, they keep the the car while the owner makes the payments.
In a rental situation, the rental car company gets one free ride, meaning they will release the car, however if they ever rent to the the same person again, and drugs are found in the car, the rental company looses the car for good. Honda, or Rolls Royce, it belongs to the state.

unless you can proved that these drugs does not belong to you and why are you driving someone car in the first place? does you know that guy whom loan you the car and if you rent it, did you check the car before you rent it.
These are the questions, police investigators face most of the time denied from drug pusher, but remember a facts no matter where you are, your finger print could still be traceable.
They can do their DNA testing while you are under investigation so they will find out eventually.
So to make sure you are not bothered with such issue, it would be best to check the car before you drive out. Dun be a victim of crime which you can avoided.

merely allow you to recognize, your possession of the vehicle can doubtlessly bring about expenditures adversarial to you. If the drugs were got here across in the open or in some no longer too secluded spot (gove compartment, centrer console) the position they could have merely been crammed, then there is not any reall desire for the proscutor to have your motor vehicle for his case. He might want to easily take some pictirers of the vehicle and launch it. it is also a possibility to sue to get your motor vehicle back - on the least, you'll get the DA t state no matter if teh motor vehicle is evidnce or no longer, and if so, why. do not take heed to the guy who reported that the vehicle will be offered - forefeiture can in uncomplicated words be makde by technique of the owner of the vehicle - you won't be able to forefeit what's no longer yours.

There are two types of drug possession. 1. Personal possession. The act of possessing illegal narcotics (already defined by your jurisdiction) for the purpose of consumption or sale. 2. Constructive possession. The act of being in close proximity of illegal narcotics, where a reasonable person would believe that the person or persons in "the" close proximity could or would have direct control of said illegal narcotics. The second answer would qualify your question, and the driver and all passengers could get charged, unless the actual owner admitted ownership prior to the actual affidavit being signed.

The driver of the car, unless the owner of the vehicle is present and you deny all knowledge, unless it's in your pocket or personal items. Their car, they're present,their responsability,some states slightly different laws, but Federal is the one.I live in N.Z. so I can only go by what I know. If its a large amount of Narcotics i.e., speed,crack, etc, taken over state line or not everyone in the vehicle will probably get charged and then it's who can afford the mopst expensive lawyer.

The person driving the car because he is presumed as the one in possession of the drugs and not the car owner.

You do because there considered in your possession. The only way out of that is if the person who owns the car admitts the drugs was his or hers. Other then tah your going to jail. Good luck

Ignorance of the law will not get you out of any trouble. Know who you are dealing with and protect yourself. It may not be your stuff but how does the officer know that and will your friend be honest when faced with possible jail time or a record? You will be the one who will get the charge.

Logic will be that the person driving and the one are in the car.
Because for the police this is solid evidence.
That is why if you are travelling do not carry others luggage or hand carry for the person It is stated as warning.so be care full.
