Re: drug charges
Yes. It happens all of the time. There are two different types of legal "possession." One is called Actual Possession, where basically it is on the person of one individual. The second type is called "Constructive Possession," where it is not on the person of one individual, but it accessible and near both people. Obviously there is a whole lot more to this than what I just explained. All I was trying to do was answer your one question. Should you have any more you are welcome to call or email me at [email protected]
