As a passenenger in a vehilce can I be charged with receiving stolen property for the stolen property found in the trunk of the vehicle I was riding?
No, although it would be a "stretch" for authorities they might be able to charge the passenger as an accessory to a crime if the person knew about the theft and the stolen property being transported in the vehicle they were riding in. Receiving stolen property means the person accepting the items was aware of the fact that those items were not the lawful property of the presenter and were obtained during the commission of a crime.

I would say yes because what if the person who received the property did not know it was stolen? Would you want to be able to contest something against you if you knew it wasn't true? I know I would, so just think about it. If you got wrongfully charged with receiving stolen property and you didn't know the property was stolen when you received it, wouldn't you want to be able to contest the charge??
