More details to this question:
They seized the vehicle and tell the drive to catch a bus home. Can the driver be arrested for anything? The driver was on the side of the road on his cell phone when a cop pulls up and asked what was up the driver said I pulled over to talk on my phone. The driver is not on probation or parole and they had no probable cause to search the vehicle. Wouldn't that mean if arrested, all charges should be dropped? Please help me. My son is facing 8 to 32 years.

knowledge is necessary for possession of drugs, but in mule situations where it is obvious that contraband is being delivered, there will probably be evidence of knowledge in some form these cases can be won, but it depends on the evidence - it is likely that the police are trying hard to get your son to give information for a plea deal - that can be a good result, or it can be very dangerous.
