Answer 1

I believe the police would need to prove that you possessed the items in question. From what you have told us, they do not have such proof unless you start talking. Are you underage? If not, what is wrong about keeping two bottles of booze in the trunk? If you are underage, how do you know that they found the bottles that you kept there and not bottles your friend put there?

I recommend that you talk to an attorney and have them talk to the police. You have a right to not say anything as I'm sure you know. Exercise it. Your friends sounds like he is responsible for all of this and there is really no proof that you possessed the booze or the marijuana, it all points to your friend.

Answer 2

depends on what state you live in. If the pot was less than an ounce and in ONE bag, then it is only a ticket in CA. The liquor not a big deal unless you are under age. The main issue is the fact the driver left the scene of the accident, that is a crime. If you have a alibi, and can prove you were not the one driving, it will go much easier on you. I doubt you will face jail time, first offenders are often offered probation, with some type of rehab as a condition.

Answer 3

I personally believe you will not get in any trouble. Your friend will more then likely get in more trouble then you. When you let your friend borrow the car, where you with someone at that time, if you were you have an alibi. They have to prove that the weed was in your possession, which it was not. The liquor shouldn't be a problem if it wasn't opened. When the cop contacts you, tell them the facts. Tell them you let your friend borrow your car, give any witnesses and alibi's if you have them. If you do get arrested or want to hold you overnight, then tell them you will not answer any question until your attorney is present. This is your right and use it.

Answer 4

The charges should go to your friend who was in possession of these things. If you are over 21 and the alcohol was unopened there shouldn't be a charge for that. Best bet is to be honest and cooperative with the officer. If you were not involved in the incident you probably don't have anything to worry about.

Answer 5

You have no reason to believe that your "friend" didn't own the narcotics.He fled the scene of an accident, which is illegal. Tell that to the police, but it will be a tough sell unless you have non-familial witnesses.

Answer 6

you're an fool for smoking weed, you're an fool for having the alcohol, you're an fool for working the supply up sign and you opt to compound all that via being an fool and contesting it. in simple terms take your punishment and supply up being an fool.

Answer 7

If you were Al Gores son, nothing would happen to you. Your friend wrecks your car and flees the scene, leaves you hanging with a wrecked car and you believe your friend? You need to reevaluate your friends .

Answer 8

DO NOT say a word to the police.
Get a lawyer.

Answer 9

Nothing, slap of the wrist ....
