If your old enough you could possibly go to jail or be fined.

If they arrest you, they must read you your rights. No choice on that one.
I don’t know the law in your state, but if you’re at home on YA, you’re probably not in huge trouble. Don’t know, though, what the record will look like.
I’d google, “Delaware Law Drug Possession”
You will be fined. Never let a cop search you. They don’t have the authority without probable cause and the suspicion that you were high is not probable cause. They need actual evidence. Just say “I don’t consent to any searched today sir.”
If you had nothing illegal on you and it wasn’t your car, then they have nothing on you… unless you admitted that it was your pot or something stupid like that. When you go before the judge, tell him/her that you had no illegal substances on or around your person when you were harassed by the police. When they bring up the weed in the car, tell them that it wasn’t yours and you had no knowledge of it being there. If the cops lie and say they found the weed on you, then you may have problems.
