Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: Harassment from the police

Thanks for your posting.

Having narcotics in your pocket (or your friend's pocket) can be considered "possession", which is defined as something within your custody or control, in general.

Yes, he can get in trouble for this, as unfair as it may seem. Your friend may, however, have some legal defenses that might work based upon what you've stated, and a good attorney can present those in a motion to the court, if appropriate.

Thanks, and please feel free to email or call at 1-877-568-2977 if you have any other questions.

The police will probably play with your friend for awhile using him/her as a snitch to see how much your friend knows. When they finally believe that your friend doesn't know anything. They'll arrest him/her. Off to jail your friend will go to be booked, etc. Works everytime.

Re: Harassment from the police

There are significant search and seizure issues which should result in the evidence and the case being thrown out of court. It will depend on what the actual police report says. It is important that you review those reports with an experienced criminal attorney. Please do not hestitate to contact us if you need any assistance.
