Seemed like a pretty arbitrary way to potentially destroy some kids life with a drug charge.

Destroy a kids life? Spare me the drama. Good grief, even if the kid got arrested they likely only got their coke confiscated. And if for some inexplicable reason he got charged the Crown almost certainly would not proceed with a simple possession charge. I think your defence lawyer neighbours are exaggerating just a tad.
