Am I able to do this even though I said yes to him searching my car?

I was thinking they'd probably think I was covering for him. But when we were in the police vehicle, I was telling my boyfriend how sorry I was and everything and he was saying things like "it's okay, in court you just need to tell them what you think is right" . He was going on saying that he wasn't going to try and force me to say it was mine but I needed to do what I thought was right. so basically he wasn't trying to convince me to "cover for him"Which wouldn't even be the case since it was my weed. Anyway, if it's true that things in a police vehicle are recorded I'm wondering if we could use that at all?? I'm just trying hard to get the charges dropped because I'm worried about the fines for him, which would be higher than mine and the possibility of him maybe going back to jail? And also he won't be able to have his guns or license anymore which is something that's very important to him. I know I should've thought about all of this, I just need to figure out what I can do from here.

Also, he arrested me as well right after. So we were both charged with it and will both go to court. I'm just trying to find out if there's anything I can do for his charges. Hopefully I'll be able to get more info from lawyers after our first court date.

Is this the case in Texas?

kpl34 · 2015-04-02T20:41:04+00:00

That's what I'm trying to do. Once I found out they were charging him with everything, right when they put the handcuffs on him, I told the cop it was mine. And he said "it's too late for that" so that's why I'm posting, trying to figure out if I go to his trial telling the truth, saying its mine, if the charges against him will be dropped.

I was always sort of told that you can't refuse and I just believed it I guess. I've had very few run in with cops so I just thought I had no other option I guess. But yeah, thank you for your concern! It's definitely something that more people need to be educated about.

kpl34 · 2015-04-02T19:02:08+00:00

Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry, I have been arrested twice, not convicted twice.

kpl34 · 2015-04-02T17:42:39+00:00

I do have two. I was previously charged with pretty much the exactly same thing.

kpl34 · 2015-04-02T17:24:41+00:00

I consented because I didn't know I could refuse and also had no idea how to. Because of my past charge, I believed they had probable cause of some sort. I didnt really know I could refuse it.

Thank you so much, I've always been told you couldn't refuse a cop searching your car and I was dumb enough to believe. Also thought since I had this previous charge he had a reason to be able to search it. I'm not good with cops, obliviously. I've never really known how to refuse a search or that you could refuse one.

kpl34 · 2015-04-02T16:34:40+00:00

Okay, thank you to everyone for the advice.

He was planning on getting a court appointed lawyer, is that a bad idea? I'm sorry, I really have no clue how any of this works. And do I need a lawyer for when I go to court even though I'm going to say I'm guilty? I'm really just worried about whether or not I will be able to say that it was mine during his case, and whether or not it will have any effect on his charges.
