How do folks not get arrested at some schools... drugs and cash in a dorm room, not mine officer, so they let them go... Used to be everyone would have been charged.
Some schools? Non students, adults and anyone who is charged with driving w/o a license arent jailed...so you obviously are not going to law school I take it. They are issued a citation....traffic violation man. Its dismissed when you show up in court with a new license. They do that for everyone.
As for the small amount of weed and odor...cops have the discretion to not charge or issue a citation if multiple people are in car and there is no proof who possessed it. That happens all the time outside of campus life. Especially when car is owned by a another party not present.
Now...is it good judgment? No. Is it something that warrants being kicked off the team? Hell no. Should he be drug tested right now? Yes. But lets face it...pot is part of the college culture and a lot of athletes would not be around if kicked off team for 1st or even second offenses dealing with pot.
And I don't believe Treon is the answer to the future...but not ready to let him loose before things shake out....he was a true frosh afterall and no true qb frosh doesn't struggle in the SEC and he didn't even have spring practice to get prepped. Lets see what happens when spring rolls around.

And I'm pretty sure driving without a license is an arrestable offense as well. Not 100% sure on that one, but these were some lenient arse cops.

It's a misdemeanor offense. I believe a couple of UGA players were hauled to the precinct for this offense and the AJC blew it up.

All I've heard is it was 2 small bags. You have no clue how much that means was in there. And most people get either arrested or everyone in the car gets in trouble. Cops don't "do it all the time." I'm fairly certain quite a few at UGA have been arrested for this as well.
We even suspended a player for admitting he smoked pot even with no evidence.

Ummmm....bag of pot sitting next to them and the smell of pot in the car? Are people also released for that?

I think you just made his point for him. MOST schools the players don't get the "discretion".
