Possibly. If the driver knew of the paraphernalia, then even if it's the vehicle's owner's stuff, then the driver can still be arrested and charged. If the driver didn't know, the driver could still be arrested but at least you have a defense. You should sit down wiht an attorney and discuss your case in more detail.
