Say a residence in which ten people live (not at all unusual btw) is searched and five kilos of heroin is discovered. Everyone who resides there, hell everyone with common access, to the residence is in constructive possession of the heroin. There is no way in hell the DA's office will charge everyone in that home with possession of said heroin.
You make up so much stuff I am beginning to believe you are not really a LEO at all. You like to post anecdotal evidence but you never back ti up with any details.
the fact is that DA's do this all the time. They try to scare the people who did not posses the drugs into giving statements against the ones that do. Just ask Paul Oberoff. You can look up his case in public record of Claiborne County Tennessee from just last year. He was spending the night with his girlfriend when the police conducted a raid. There was 20 gram of Meth found in another bedroom belonging to Jamie Short ( the brother of his girlfriend). EVERYONE was charged with possession of meth for resale.
This kind of thing happens all the time. IN the DA's eyes everyone who is ni the house knows what is going on (most likely true) so everyone is guilty.
