Whats the laws regarding being with people who are smoking?

For example, If im in a car and the another guy is smoking weed and we get pulled over, am I in any trouble?

**tippmannbeast** · September 30th, 04:39 PM

anything in the car is considered the responsibility of the person who owns the car. If you're driving and sober and people in the car are stoned, you're basically cool- the dsignated driver rule. Rules vary from state to state.

Don't depend on this, but i'm pretty sure this is how it is. PM me for a great site concerning this type of thing.

Last time I checked weed was illegal unless you had that medical card. I first reading ur post i thought u meant as long as theirs a designated driver ur cool, like drinking. lol

haha no
unless you have a D.E.A. liscenced card/vehicle, you'll get busted.

A B and C are in a car.

Im person C. Person A is driving, and person B is Smoking weed.

Person C is doing nothing.

How many people are breaking the law?

All of you.

A B and C are in a car.

I'm person C. Person A is driving the car (when needed), and person B is murdering an innocent bystander.

Person C is doing nothing.

Sitting in the seat is while people smoke is hardly facilitating a crime, it seems to me like guilt by association.

He said that person B was smoking, not smoking and killing somebody. I would guess that you should be fine, if it's like the scenario that you said but your two friends, could be in some trouble. I don't know though, b/c when I was coming up with that I was basing it off of what sounds reasonable to me, not the laws.....

**Pr0ph3t** · September 30th, 05:10 PM

It's the same concept. You aren't doing anything to prevent the crime from happening, so you are guilty by association.

Its not illegal to not prevent a crime, as long as you aren't facilitating it.

Proof. If this is the truth, then police have arrested me on false charges.

Actually, now that you mention it, I never have seen concrete examples in penal law of this... so you tell your story and I'll look some stuff up.

Moral: Stay away from weed, then you stay out of trouble.

***Pierced*** · September 30th, 07:18 PM

call your state trooper office and ask em they will tell you the laws

**big_balla** · September 30th, 07:20 PM

I'm pretty sure you would be in trouble, as well.

Same predicament you question now. Buddy of mine had weed, he and my other friend were smoking, I wasn't (I don't smoke weed). I got arrested along with them on some BS charge. I don't even remember what he told me he was taking me for.

easy solution:

smoke, THEN get in the car

it works all the time
