From what I can see (i'm not a lawyer), if you knew it
was in the car, then you can be charged with possession.
If you had no idea, you can fight any possession charges
against you, but you would probably need legal
assistance. If you have been charged, I would speak with
an attorney. You can get a free consultation from most
lawyers so they can review your case and see if it's
worth it to move forward.
