Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Your friend should discuss his concerns with an attorney. He probably has nothing to worry about; in order to prosecute, the State would normally need to know specific dates, locations, quantities, and types of drugs. That being said, he should consult with an attorney and discuss the matter fully.

The chances are slim that he would be arrested now but it is not an impossibility. He should consult with a criminal attorney so that he is prepared just in case it does happen.

There is so much crime that police will not usually worry about a statement made about something like this in past tense.
