Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

cannabis

my 18 yr old son was arrested with 3 of his friends my son was driving his friend in the back seat wanted to go buy some pot they were driving down the road to the dealers house my son called him and said he was turning down his street there was a narcotics agent that pulled them over on the street he asked my son what they were doing there he said they were making a u-turn they pulled his friend out of the backseat he said they were going to buy pot needless to say they got arrested my son got 3 felonies , maintaining a drug vehicle, possesion under 20g(all they found was a stem and 2 seeds under the girl that owned the car seat), and he got atempting to buy within a 1000 ft of a church, my son is a 3.6 gpa student, all county in basketball, just got accepted into 2 state universities,and has never had any prior convictions of any kind, i dont understand how they can make any of these felonies when they had no cannibas on them except for 2 seeds and stem and all of the teens together had 25dollars on them or why the police had any cause to pull them over?
