I can only speak for NY. If drugs (narcotics) are found in a vehicle and noone claims them then everyone in the vehicle can be charged with possession. If it is marijuana, then only the driver can be charged with possession. That is according to penal law in NY state. Who owns the car? Then ,who was in the car? Common sense, last person there, name on the car, Hello!

Yes, but I believe it must remain on the car decks and can not be brought up to the passenger level. Though if you sneak it up and aren't annoying other passengers it is unlikely anyone will ask you to leave. Don't bring it into the eating areas, this will annoy other passengers.
