Re: wrongfully accused

Usually, all occupants are arrested where your scenario exists. The officer lets the prosecutor sort out the defendants, if he thinks it appropriate.

Call me if you like.

Generally, all occupants of the vehicle are charged with constructive posession - the ones most likely to be prosecuted more heavily are the driver and the actual holder of the illegal merchandise.
