No, the drugs were not yours and he was the one driving your car, without you in it. You never touched the drugs because you never got them so there was no drug activity. All you did was lend someone your car and they did something illegal, not you. You should be fine I would think but it all depends on the laws in your state. I would definitely not say you traded the use of the car for drugs though. Even if you do, just say he needed the car to go get drugs. Not that he gave you drugs beforehand to use the car.Can someone with police/legal experiecne offer advice for A SERIOUS PROBLEM? I am VERY WORRIED.?
In Texas you could be charged with False Report. When you make a report of Unauthorized Use of Motor Vehicle Report (Stolen Vehicle) the police are going to asked you several questions. Some of those questions are, ';Do you know who may have taken the vehicle?'; and ';Did you loan the vehicle out to anyone?'; When you made the report that it was stolen, you would have had to answer ';No'; to one or both of these questions (Lied to the police) and therefore could be charged with False Report.
What you did is commonly called a ';Crack Rental'; in the Law Enforcement community. The only way we have to combat this type of deal and waste of police resources is to file on every false report made.
Another example of why drugs are bad for you and the trouble they cause. Hope it was all worth it for you.
LISTEN AND HEED - DO NOT GO AND TALK TO ANY OFFICIAL WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY. MAKE NO STATEMENT, DON'T EVEN SAY THE TIME, WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY. Now, all that aside, make sure you take care of yourself and do whatever you need to do to make sure this one time lapse with the drugs is just once. Then, you are responsible for your actions and not those of anyone else. But, do NOT fall into the trap of making statements without an attorney.
Hiring a lawyer for minor legal problems can be expensive, but there are websites like LawGuru, FindLaw and other places where you can get free legal advice. I found this website useful - http://www.uelp.org/freelegal.html
If they are wanting to stick it to you you could be charged as an accessory to whatever crime was committed because you willfully loaned them the vehicle. Maybe that won't be the case, but because you willfully gave them the keys knowing they had illegal paraphanelia on their person, which would then result in your knowledge of them having the illegal substance in the car, you could be charged as an accessory.
Right now you should be worried about what kind of trouble you have gotten your mother into involving her with her car more so than what trouble you might get into.
Remember too, falling off the wagon is a slip. It doesn't mean you can't hop right back on it.
Why did you agree to that? Drugs are NOT good drugs are bad.
(Unless your doctor says you should take drugs)
Well, if it was involved in a Federal drug crime you probably won't get the car back anyway. It'll be sold at auction because its now forfeited property so thanks to you and your drug dealer your Mom may be out of a vehicle. Its also that way in many states. Depends on what it was involved in.
say no to drugs!!!!
Depends on what State u are in! In GA, If they find the car with drugs in it, It will not be considered yours.
I feel so sorry for your Mother right now. As far as what happens to you, I don't know what they can charge you with, but you need to check yourself into a drug rehab place, or AT LEAST stay away from those who love you while you are using...because your not only using drugs, your using your Mom and probably everyone else for whatever they can give you. And the reason they give it to you is because they love you and you use their love against them. Your mom needs to cut you off.
Unfortunately, by posting this you may have made a very public admission to what may be a crime. I would say your very next action should be to immediately consult an attorney and say (or post) nothing further to anyone until you do.
Good luck. Get some help
If it was ';involved in an incident';, they probably have a perp. If it wasn't you, then your only worry is any drug charges, but, if there are no physical drugs tied to you (no evidence) then that would be very hard pressed to stand up in court.
About the car, that really depends on how this all plays out. If you are indicted for anything, and go to trial, the judge can determine if he would take your innocent mom's car, which most won't...if she truly didn't know anything about this, didn't condone, and this was done without her knowledge and consent, then I've found most judges won't strip in innocent person of their car. If you should plead out, then who knows...that's up to the DA and what your lawyer can do with it. You best bet is to tell the truth...if everything you say checks out, and it is as you stated, then being truthful is your best Allie. Once you lie, you loose a lot, and other charges can stem from that act alone.
Drugs are not worth it. I hope you use this as a learning experience. Good luck to you.
