UK Police: Would I get into trouble?

My brother keeps pestering me to collect his marijuana for him. This would mean me hiding this stuff in my car in case I get pulled over by police.
I don't want to do this but he insists that I will be ok as should I get pulled over I should pretend to not know it was in the car and that I can just tell them that it must be my Brothers he must have left it there as he was supposedly the last passenger to be in my car.
My Brother would be happy for me to direct the police to him as it is his marijuana.
Despite doing this would I still get in trouble for anything as for all they know I really am unaware that the stuff was there?

BTW I have refused to do this for my Brother but to settle our argument could I still get into trouble even if I act innocent and my Brother is willing to take the rap?
I want to know the answer as he will probably try and get my other Sister to collect it for him.
He has Agoraphobia and finds it hard to leave the house to get it himself.

Additional Details
The stuff is already bought and just needs collecting.

Sec 52 of the misuse of drugs act 71 states that it is an offence to unlawfully possess a controlled drug.

2 conditions to proving the offence are 1: got it under your possession
2:knew it was a controlled drug.

As such you would be guilty.

If your brother then gives you a tenner petrol money then you could also be done for supply as you have gained from it.

Keep telling him no and tell your sister to do the same, if he persists then set your cat on him!

Yes you can get into trouble, effectively you are supplying the marijuana to him. Is his agoraphobia diagnosed? Because this too could involve you even more. In effect you are being his "mule". If the police have an operation and are doing a "stake-out" on the provider of the marijuana they have you going to collect it. You don't mention if you are actually going to purchase it for him (as he can't leave the house) and that again puts you in a predicament with Police. Your brother should not involve you in any of these deals.

Yes you would be arrested for possession of class c drug cannabis.
The police have heard the it's not mine excuse a million times and you would be probably charged or cautioned.
Depending on the amount it could even be perceived as possession with intent to supply. If they want to get really petty your dna/prints would be on the packaging so they could link you that way. However this is unlikely to be done if it is only a small amount.

Agoraphobic or not if he wants it that bad he will get it himself. Don't be anyones scape goat.

you would get in trouble if they stopped you, they have every right to check your car (inside and out) and if they find it, you would get a criminal record for being in possession.

aiding and abetting a drug dealer user should get you 2 years suspended,escalating to a prison sentence if you repeat the offence,
cut out the middle man and get the dealer to do a delivery service,
ain't the perfect solution but it may keep you out of prison and your waste of space brother can sit in his own bedroom slowly chilling himself to death,,Peace man.


i dont know who i am?
tell him to quit it and his agoraphobia will probably calm down, and yes you could still get into trouble depending on the amount and if you get the right cop to believe you, people use this excuse all the time, you can just act innocent you will have to act a bit angry and be on the phone swearing at him.

cant see you getting in trouble if there is only a small amount, police would just confiscate it.

oh weed is making his agoraphobia worse

Be cruel to be kind, don't, you or your sister get the stuff for him

It depends how much is there ? if its just the odd draw then no, it depends on your response get a good story straight like you were socialising with some old friends or something but if its above a quarter of an ounce i would stash it in the car. Police take cannabis very lightly as long as its not to much then you will get charged but if its a reasonable amount then no you've got nothing to worry about despite what these other responses are most of them would have never seen marijuana.

But with the condition your brothers in i would encourage him to stop cannabis leads to alot more problems with him having some issues it wont help.

yea It's illegal so you would be in trouble of possessing an illegal drug and if you say it's for your brother then you'd be guilty of supplying and possessing an illegal drug.

be cruel to be kind he doesn't need it


Cockney Sparrow
Do not do it for him,let him collect his own,or make him stop using it


Gemini
Yes you would!, it would be in your possession, even though its his, you are picking it up and taking it to him so you are "supplying" it as acting as the "courier"!!! don't put yourself in that situation if he is that desperate for his "stuff" he will have to get it himself, pretty selfish of him to ask you to do this, and it shows how desperate he is to lie to you saying you wont get done, lets face it, how many times have the cops heard "oh, how did that get there" "its not mine"!!!!


d
yes of course you will get in trouble and taken to the police station to be strip searched and probably charged. don't you think the police will have heard every sob story ever thought. Even if your brother tells the police that the hash is his can e prove that, they think he is covering for you. Getting stoned is probably the cause of his agoraphobia. Tell him to stop being such a selfish ******.

You would only be in trouble if the police could PROVE you KNEW it was there. That is the law!


"isitme"
The straight forward answer is you're committing the offence of possession with intent to supply, tell Your brother to get it himself, if he can't, it's time to stop using it!


Gina M
don't do it, at the end of the day they would still arrest you even if you said it wasn't yours and if they did a lie detector test you would fail it as you would have known it was there, if your brother insists on doing drugs tell him he has to get over his agoraphobia and go get it himself, or find a dealer that will deliver to his house.


ihaveasexyhusband
The answer to the question you HAVE asked is that yes you can get into trouble if you have Marijuana in your car, regardless if you know it's there or not. The answer to the question you HAVEN'T asked, if you get caught collecting the stuff you will be spending a long time in jail due to the fact that you are "buying and supplying" regardless if you are buying (or bought) and collecting it for your brother. Marijuana is illegal full stop and the consequences are high.

By the way, the cover story has holes in it. Your brother suffers from Agoraphobia which means that he can't leave the house so how come he was the last one driving your car?

As for getting your sister in on the act - you have to tell your parents because she may not be as sensible as you.

Good luck

I bet the UK Police are lawfin their socks off.
I am troubled reading this ... perhaps.. just as much as you are.
I fink i needz sum... can i hav detailz off suppliar!!



uk_pindar
Get yourself a backbone and just get the poor bloke his weed. Try not to live your life in fear of bullies. Just stick the weed in your pants the police cannot look at your pipi on the roadside. Oh and by the way just for all the enemies of freedom out there cannabis is not unlawfull it is only regulated by an act not a real law. Acts have an element of consent involved.
