Re: juvenile

It is up to officer discretion to determine who in the vehicle may or may not have had possession. The decision was likely made based on the location of the paraphrenalia within the vehicle.

Possession is a matter of control and knowledge. Every case is different. I am pretty familiar in the halls of the juvenile court if you would like some help and to not face this alone.
