WHO put the charge on you? If you were with someone engaged in selling illegal drugs, you are considered to be in "concurrent possession" of the drugs. In other words, the drugs could have as easily been yours as theirs. Evidence will be presented and the judge or the jury will decide if you are culpable or not.

Crime in the UK can police charge you at home?

There are two ways in which the police start prosecutions in court: either by charge or by summons. In either case, the person involved is required by law to attend court at a time and place given to them. Generally, the police charge people in a police station either after they have been arrested or later when they have answered bail. This tends to happen in more serious cases. If someone has not been arrested then the police might issue a summons. This tends to happen in less serious cases. When the police issue a summons they tell the person that they will be reported. This can happen anywhere including in a person's home. A file is then sent to the court who, if they agree that there could be a case to answer, will write with an instruction to attend court. Sometimes the police summons people even though they have been previously arrested. This is legal although it does mean that the case often takes longer to reach court. For this reason it is used in less serious cases.
