Alright, so I'm currently on probation for a mis-demeanor with a cwof.
I was driving on 95 in RI with a few friends who weren't feeling well. With little warning one of them tells me he's going to puke.. There's heavy traffic and it wasn't safe to get to the right lane to pull over. We find a bag real quick and he throws up in it.. As I'm trying to get over to the right lane to find somewhere we can pull over, apparently the bag started leaking, so instead of making a mess everywhere he opts to throw the bag out the window, without my consent or knowledge.
Wouldn't you know a state trooper was behind us. We get pulled over, he talks to my friend about it. My friend tells him that it was leaking everywhere and he didn't know what else to do.
In the end, I'm getting fine and have a court date and my friends not getting in trouble at all.. He told me he'd tell the court that I had no idea that he was going to do that (which is the truth), and that he would take the blame.
If I was charged with this, could my probation be violated? And should I be held accountable for the actions of people in my car?
Thanks in advance.
