Serious question

If she is found with marijuana in the vicinity, it will be a violation. Since she is on probation, the court would expect her to move if she knows there is marijuana on the premises.

You are probably being charged under a theory called "constructive possession". This means that the prosecutor would have to prove that the substance was within your reach and you knew it was there even though you were not actually in possession. In MI, this is enough for a possession charge, especially where the officer wants to charge multiple people for the same possession. If you are a first offender, you will probably be offered a plea under advisement, which would allow the charge to be dismissed after a certain amount of time if you comply with some conditions.

Hmm...Question to you: Texas man flies 431 pounds of marijuana to enid oklahoma to refuel and continue to chicago, he gets met by DEA agents, enid police, and enid narcotics unit. He gets 10 years in prison and $100,000 fine for drug traffiking. Second story: A man has been drinking heavily and is driving in the opposing lane, hits and kills a pedestrian. He gets 12 years for vehicular manslaughter. Big difference. The pilot was not going to kill anybody by bringing marijuana into the country, but he gets almost as much time as the negligent individual who took another persons life by drinking and being behind the wheel. Is this justice?

Alright heres my story...


My friends Brian and Sam were waiting at a parking lot for me and my friend. When we got there I opened my trunk pulled out some weed and proceed to head to my friends car. As soon as i hopped inside, 2 officers come up to the car and tell us to get out of the car. They assumed there was a drug deal going on so we got searched along with the car. The weed I had was stashed under the seat, but eventually found by the cops. The cops asked us about it, we all said we knew nothing about it. They also found 6 beers in the back of my friends car. They then searched my car and eventually found 2 roaches in the trunk. They wrote down our names, took our numbers, but did not give us any tickets. They left and said, be expecting a phone call. My questions are..

1) Whats a possession charge for 2 roaches in the state of michigan?
2) Will I automatically be charged for the dime in my friends car?


Id appreciate all the help!

i got a question

i just got caught a couple months ago, for what they call "Delivery" the police never found money or any weed on me, nor did they see me hand it to the guy. Could they still charge me for Delivery?

Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I am a criminal attorney in Michigan. I've had my own practice for the past 6 years and worked as a public defender for about 2 years before that in Detroit. I don't smoke marijuana anymore. I used to be an avid smoker but I quit just before my daughter was born.

I am offering advice to anyone with legal troubles or simple questions. Understand that my area of expertise is in Michigan law so I may not be able to offer any answers for other states' laws. Just let me know if I can help.

haha, wow your awsome, need more people like you in this world
