California
Apparently since early November the local police department has been investigating my involvement in ecstasy possession/dealing, though I have not been charged with anything yet. I'm currently a minor and am attending high school. The police department called my house earlier this week and spoke with my mother. They told her that they had me for possession of ecstasy and were looking in further to get me for distributing it as well. I have never been arrested or even gotten so much as a parking ticket before. They told my mother that the evidence they had were some facebook pictures from 'raves' that I attend. Apparently the reason they started looking into me was because my name seemed to come up whenever they arrested or questioned kids at my high school. I have never distributed the drug and am not quite sure why they would think I do. I have not touched the drug since early November.
My involvement in the 'rave' culture isn't completely absent-- I've put one together, I attend them quite frequently and I've put together a bus to take myself and 39 other people to a massive one. In regards to the bus, I took some of my friends and some people I didn't know too well to a music festival for the night. We returned and everything went smoothly--or so I thought. When the police talked to my mom they mentioned that a few people who were suppose to go on the bus to this festival were arrested for possession of ecstasy. Also some kids told their parents about the event and the drug use and the parents reported it to the police. The police are now wanting to question my father, who has no involvement with anything. They think that he signed the contract for the bus (since you have to be 18), but he did not, my older friend did.
They want both my parents to come in and look at the pictures that they want to charge me on. They haven't made any effort to try to talk to me but when/if they do, I believe that they will just ask me to give them names of dealers or people involved with distribution.
My question is: can the police arrest me based off my demeanor in facebook pictures? Or even more so can they arrest me for possession if I haven't possessed it in months? Also, are they obligated to completely communicate through my parents? They have no involvement in any of this. My mom knew I used the drug in the past, and we both thought we were through that. I understand I'm a minor and can't really answer for myself.
I was going to go and talk to one of the police officers in my school to see if I can clear things up, is that not a good idea?
I'm not so much worried about getting charged with dealing because I have never done that.
Thank you for any help you may provide.
