Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Re: posession of drug paraphanelia

No one should confess to anything. After reviewing Sec. 18.2-265.3 and related statutes of the Virginia Criminal Code, it would appear that merely possessing what might be described as "drug paraphernalia" is not a chargeable offense in and of itself unless the paraphernalia is actually accompanied by an illegal drug(found in/on or near it) or it is possessed with the intent to sell or market it.

So, your question is what?

Re: posession of drug paraphanelia

You have a decent chance of escaping charge. You should hire an attorney.

I may be available.

Did you make any statements to police?

Did you act in any way to indicate you knew drugs in vehicle?
