This is ambiguous. By this I meant the "person who rents to another," not
the "person who rents from someone."

It "should" work either way. :)

If I went and rented a truck and there was a "roach" in the ashtray I
should not be held accountable for possesion unless it could be proved
that it was mine and not from someone else that had used the truck or even
a worker at the retal shop.

Ofcource if I had the trailer loaded with 100K of coke it would be a
little hard to say that someone else left it there. :)

But if you drive for several miles, and get pulled over for speeding, the
fact that it's still in the truck is probably going to land you in jail,
if the cop finds some reason to search the truck.  (The smell of marijuana
or seeing the roach sitting the ashtray are valid reasons I believe)

If you haven't disposed of it, you're probably going to land in jail.

officer, it was in the truck when I got in!)  the evidence is there, and
you'll probably need to depend on character witnesses to get out of a
conviction...

Well usually when someone gets nailed on somthing like this its in their
own vehicle. I would think that with it being a rental that one would have
plausible deniability and additional evidence would be required.

Ofcource if when you roll down the window a big cloud of some rolls out
(ala cheech & chong) that's another matter. :)
