Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Virginia
My friend was pulled over and was searched, and the officer found marijuana but did not charge him. Instead, my friend was charged with driving without a license. Can he still be charged at a later date for the marijuana since he was never charged, but it was confiscated?
