If you are getting a ride from a friend and one of the passengers are in possession of stolen property can you get charged with a state jail felony?

The short answer is yes, assuming that possession of that property normally constitutes a felony.
Look at it like this: the police pull the car over, and notice that lying there on the seat is the Hope diamond. You're sitting on one side of it and your friend is sitting on the other. Both of you say "Um, it's not mine." Do you think they're going to say "Oh, well, since we don't know which of you stole it, I guess you can both go"?
Added; In the law this type of situation is known as "concurrent possession." As in the example given above, you will almost certainly be arrested, and then to avoid prosecution, must be able to demonstrate that you had nothing to do with, and/or had no knowledge of, the stolen property.
