FAQs

Marijuana, Cocaine Drug and Alcohol Charges

Is it illegal to search an unoccupied car for drugs in Virginia?

My brother was a passenger in a car stopped by police. The police searched my brother and the driver and found nothing incriminating, when they searched the car they found marijuana. Both of them were charged with possession of marijuana. My brother told the officer of marijuana was not his before the officer arrested him. Is my brother likely to be convicted of possession of marijuana?
