Friend's ID Card Possessed by Person Under 21
Generally speaking, officers have a right to use as evidence anything which they discover that is within "plain view," while they are conducting their lawful duties, even without a search warrant. However, there may be other defenses available to your son. You need to discuss this matter with an experienced criminal lawyer.
