In the US, Jail Time for sure and if that person had any other offenses, even one, they would probably go for the three strikes thing and you would do life. On the other hand if you were in Canada you would probably get probation. Home of the free eh?

Well first off, the 80 mph in a 45 mph zone is considered wreckless driving. You could do time for that. As for the cocaine, if it was in your vehicle, you could be reliable for it. After all, there's no real proof for the officer who arrested you that it wasn't in fact your's. If your friend does come forward to admit that it was his, which I am very doubtful he would, then you may get a break. Who will step up to acknowledge something is their's that's illegal, when there is already someone to take the heat? You need to make sure your friend is up for the time he may serve for having a controlled substance and that he will in fact admit it was his. If not, you may need to seek the advice of a local attorney.

Three point five grams is enough weight to charge the person with possession with the intent to distribute. If you have a prior conviction you will go to jail and not collect your two hundred dollars.

If you have enough money to fight the charge, you will serve no time!!!
In the order hand , get ready to spend from 5 to 10 years in the shade.
Remember money buys anything !!!

See what coke does to people. Please learn from this 8 ball junkie. He got caught once then got caught again and is not sure if this is his second offense. Ding dong 1 + 1 = 2.

In some countries there is no such thing as a "second offense".

If you must try putting it in checked baggage. I highly reccomend against taking it on a plane. Though I highly reccomend against using it at all also.

Depends.
If it was Paris Hilton, she would probably have to serve an entire week in county lockup.

I guess it would depend on whose airplane they were embarking and where they were departing from as well as who they were.
