A friend of mine and I were on our way home from what I thought was a friendly bar-b-que. As it turns out, while I was mingling, my friend was picking up mushrooms and marijuana(unbeknownst to me). So on our way home, he got pulled over for speeding and when the officer asked him to step out of the car he began singing like a bird. Told the cops where the drugs were, that I knew nothing about them, and all that jazz. Anyway, I had a little bit(2 grams) of marijuana on me(I smoke herb and am not ashamed or fearful of openly saying so). The officer came back to the car, removed me, searched me and found my herb on me. Even though he owned up to possession of the mushrooms(a cpcs-3 felony) and the sellable quantities of marijuana(39 grams in seperate baggies) we were both charged with the possession of the sellable quantities and taken to jail. My question is, is this legal? Ownership had been determined by my friends own admission and yet I was charged with drugs that I knew nothing about. I understand that I had marijuana on me, and am happy to take the punishment for my "crime". But as a passenger in the car, I did not submit to any search of myself, I was asked to step out of the car and my pockets were emptied and the contents searched. So Am I screwed to having to face down the felony charges or should I file a motion to have the felony charges dropped on the basis of a violation of my fourth ammendment rights?
