Wilmette, illinois.
Im 20 years old, my passenger was 16. I drove him to a marajuana dealers house, stayed in my car while he went in and bought it, he came back out and we left. Cops pulled us over 4 blocks later saying they saw us come out of a house theyve been watching, and said the car smelled like weed. They pullled us out of the car. The cop asked me if i knew if there was marajuana in the car, i said yes but i dont know how much and it wasnt mine. the cops asked if they could search the car, and if they wernt able to they would call for a search according to cops. i said "looks like i dont have a choice" and they searched the car. They found a pound, arrested both of us and brought us to the police station. they asked a couple questions (no rights read yet) then threw me in a cell. Later, before i wrote my statement they made me sign my rights. Long story short, we both are being charged with the same thing (posession of more then 30grams but less then 500 grams). Is this legal? It wasnt mine, nor intention to be mine, i was just being the transportation.
(forgot to add- the 16 year old admitted to the cops that it was his, and the cops openly told me that aftr my rights)
