My room mate was charged with possession of Marijuana and paraphernalia charges. The cops were called to my apartment by noise complaint and started to knock on the door.

They asked everyone in the room if they had been smoking pot and everyone acknowledged that they had smoked. The officers asked my friends x(4) who had just been smoking this illegal drug to drive home. Tell me how this is right?
