   AnotherCommuter is incorrect, incidentally.  In Virginia:

	"In determining whether a defendant constructively possessed drugs, the defendant's proximity to the drugs and his occupancy of the [premises] must also be considered.  Although mere proximity to the drugs is insufficient to establish possession, and occupancy of the [premises] does not give rise to a presumption of possession, . . . both are factors which may be considered in determining whether a defendant possessed drugs."

	Josephs v. Commonwealth, 10 Va. App. 87, 100, 390 S.E.2d 491, 498 (1990) (en banc) (citations omitted).

IF YOU GET PULLED OVER AND THE POLICE SEE IT YOU'RE DONE FOR BECAUSE REGARDLESS OF WHOSE CAR IT IS OR WHO WAS IN THE CAR THE BOTTOMLINE IS YOU WERE BEHIND THE WHEEL WHICH MEANS YOU ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF THAT VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY TRUE STATEMENT. CHECK WITH THE POLICE THEY WILL VERIFY IT. OK, OK...you don't have to yell...

I was just still irate when I typed my original post. Not dumb enough to use a gun just dumb enough to threaten to use a gun on a public post. What an idiot. You deserve your ripped seats.

	Sorry, uhura, but nobody who willingly provides others a free ride to work deserves to have their car vandalized. If you're perfect enough to have never uttered regrettable words when angry, good for you. The rest of us mortals still make mistakes and sometimes have to remove our feet from our mouths.
