A couple nights ago my friend and I were driving and took an illegal left turn, as we went through the next light we spotted a police man sitting waiting for us, turned his lights on and pulled us over. There was a roach in the cars cup holder from where someone had been smoking earlier in there, but it was my friends car and I was riding passenger. I had been arrested 4 weeks before for 1.possession of marijuana and 2. Paraphernalia charge. I was able to get the Paraphernalia charge removed from my charges so now its just the marijuana charge, and I still have to go to court for it. After the police man received back up he asked if he could search the car and we said yes, and they found the roach. (that we didnt know was there at the time) but story short, my friend got a citation for 1 taking the illegal left turn and 2. possession of marijuana because of the roach that was in the cup holder and it was his car. What kind of trouble is he going to get in because of this "Citation"?. And will this show up on my record on my court date that i was in the car when this happened or will i get convicted more?

No, you will not be "convicted more"!
You are innocent, until proven guilty.
In the future, always politely say "No, officer", if you're asked to voluntarily submit to a search.
You're constitutionally guaranteed the right to refuse searches and talk to the police. Read my tag line!
Your friend needs to plead not guilty.
Speak about this to no one but his lawyer.
Ask the court to appoint one for him or hire his own.
You are wise to do the same.
You should see very clearly now the trouble that smoking weed and breaking laws can being your way.
Just leave illegal things alone, if you want a clean record.

Thank you for your quick response. I have already gotten a lawyer for my case and my charges have been lowered since he has talked to the people responsible for my charges, I just don't want them to go back to where they where before. So this incident will not effect my court day(or brought up in it?) since i was the passenger of the vehicle and didn't get a citation or anything just my friend? They looked my record up when I had my license and saw that I had a previous charge.
