I couldn't care less about the MJ and the paraphernalia. Pay a fine and more on.
But if there's an active protection order and he's still carrying, I hope he gets jail still. He won't, but he should.
Why wouldn’t this be considered a DUI case?
And is there a law against carrying while under the influence?
It's probably not DUI because they can't prove intoxication / impairment. With alcohol, it's easy: do a breathalyzer. Drugs are harder, because they stay in your system long after impairment is over. In Maine, prosecutors can "prove" a drug OUI through showing any level of a substance in somebody, along with tying that to an illegal traffic move, etc. I'm not sure what the Indiana test is. If he was pulled over for erratic driving, who knows, they could add charges.
A lot of states don't have a "carrying under the influence" charge, but even if Indiana does, they need to show Rondo was actually impaired.
