You don't fight the case.
You ask for a court appointed lawyer, and stop talking.
The other person took responsibility for the pipe.
You weren't driving.
You will walk on this one.
But, stop talking about it.
Say nothing to anyone else, but your lawyer.
If you can't afford a lawyer, ask the court to appoint one for you.
Unless and until that happens, say no more than your name, address, date of birth, etc...

How old are you?
Depending on your answer, you might have another defense.

Doesn't matter, if the cop testifies to it.
I'm sure the cop heard it.
That is why you have to tell that to your lawyer.
The driver also owned the pipe, right?
If he doesn't show up, that helps you!

Law is whatever a judge in a courtroom decides it is, and do not trust a cop/prosecutor.

Things in a courtoom tend to go the way the local law enforcement system/judiciary want it to.

Hey, it's their home court and their referee.

Don't assume law is cut and dry, always the way it is written and always administered equally.

Don't fight it. Take a plea.
The "I was holding it for a friend" defense does not work. It was in your bag and that makes it yours. Stop hanging out with druggies and you won't have this problem.
You will be convicted of something... don't get your hopes up on beating it.
