    The rights of pedestrians with disabilities are different than those with non-disabilities.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the rights of pedestrians with disabilities should not be different from those without disabilities. All individuals, regardless of their disabilities, have the right to equal access and treatment. Laws and regulations are in place to ensure that individuals with disabilities are not discriminated against and have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that the rights of pedestrians with disabilities are different from those without disabilities.

    A. True
    Explanation
    If a driver fails to take necessary precautions and ends up causing damage or striking a pedestrian with a disability, they can be held liable.

    When developing reasonable suspicion or probable cause the officer may use a suspect’s behavior. Such behavior may include _________.

    • Furtive movements

    • Aggressive behavior

    • Fleeing from the officer

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The officer may use a suspect's behavior when developing reasonable suspicion or probable cause. This includes furtive movements, which are sudden or secretive actions that may indicate criminal intent. Aggressive behavior can also be a factor, as it suggests a potential threat or danger. Additionally, if a suspect is fleeing from the officer, it can further contribute to the officer's suspicion or cause for arrest. Therefore, all of the above behaviors can be considered when determining reasonable suspicion or probable cause.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The key component of a frisk is that the officer must believe that the suspect is presently armed and dangerous to the officer or the public.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A frisk is a type of search conducted by a police officer to ensure their safety during a stop or encounter with a suspect. The key component of a frisk is the officer's belief that the suspect is currently armed and poses a threat to the officer or the public. This belief is necessary to justify the intrusion into the suspect's privacy and the limited search for weapons. Therefore, the statement that the key component of a frisk is the officer's belief that the suspect is presently armed and dangerous is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    In order for an officer to seize contraband without a warrant and based on open/plain view doctrine, the contraband must be readily apparent or recognized as contraband

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The open/plain view doctrine allows officers to seize contraband without a warrant if it is readily apparent or recognized as contraband. This means that if an officer sees something illegal or suspicious in plain sight, they can seize it without needing a warrant. This doctrine is based on the idea that if something is clearly illegal or poses a threat, law enforcement should be able to take immediate action to protect public safety. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    A frisk is generally restricted to the patting down of a suspect’s outer clothing garments for ___________.

    • A weapon

    • Any contraband

    • Drugs

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. A weapon
    Explanation
    A frisk is a limited search conducted by law enforcement officers to ensure their safety. It involves patting down the outer clothing of a suspect to detect the presence of any weapons. This is done to protect the officer from potential harm and to prevent the suspect from using a weapon against them. The purpose of a frisk is not to search for contraband or drugs, but specifically to locate any weapons that may pose a threat. Therefore, the correct answer is "a weapon".

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    If, during a frisk, an officer feels something s/he can articulate and reasonably believe is a weapon, the item can be seized.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If an officer is conducting a frisk and feels something that they can clearly describe and reasonably believe is a weapon, they are allowed to seize the item. This is because the officer's duty is to ensure their own safety and the safety of others, and if they have a reasonable belief that the item could pose a threat, they are permitted to take it for further investigation or to prevent harm. Therefore, the statement "If, during a frisk, an officer feels something s/he can articulate and reasonably believe is a weapon, the item can be seized" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Which of the following may be used in the development of reasonable suspicion or probable cause?

    • Personal observations

    • Suspect behavior

    • Hearsay

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Reasonable suspicion or probable cause can be developed through a combination of personal observations, suspect behavior, and hearsay. Personal observations refer to firsthand knowledge or information obtained through the senses, such as seeing or hearing something directly. Suspect behavior involves actions or conduct that may indicate involvement in criminal activity. Hearsay refers to information received from someone else, which may not be directly witnessed but can still contribute to forming a reasonable suspicion or probable cause. Therefore, all of these factors can be utilized in the development of reasonable suspicion or probable cause.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    If an officer lawfully impounds a vehicle, the officer may conduct an inventory search of the vehicle according to his/her agency guidelines.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When a law enforcement officer lawfully impounds a vehicle, they have the authority to conduct an inventory search of the vehicle. This is typically done according to the agency guidelines to document the contents of the vehicle and ensure the safety of the vehicle and its contents. The purpose of an inventory search is not to find evidence of a crime, but rather to create an inventory list of the items in the vehicle to protect both the owner and the police from any claims of lost or stolen property. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    A frisk is generally restricted to the patting down of a suspect’s outer clothing garments for ___________.

    • A weapon

    • Any contraband

    • Drugs

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. A weapon
    Explanation
    A frisk is generally restricted to the patting down of a suspect's outer clothing garments for a weapon. This means that during a frisk, law enforcement officers are primarily looking for any objects that could be used as a weapon, such as knives or guns. The purpose of the frisk is to ensure the safety of the officer and to prevent any potential harm that could be caused by the suspect. It is not specifically focused on finding contraband or drugs, although if a weapon is not found during the frisk, officers may continue to search for other illegal items if they have reasonable suspicion.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Vehicles are used as transportation for _________.

    • People

    • Goods

    • Services

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Vehicles are used as transportation for people, goods, and services. People use vehicles to travel from one place to another, whether it is for work, leisure, or any other purpose. Goods are transported using vehicles to deliver products from manufacturers to consumers or to move materials and supplies between different locations. Additionally, vehicles are used to provide various services such as public transportation, delivery services, emergency response, and many others. Therefore, the correct answer is "all of the above" as vehicles are utilized for the transportation of people, goods, and services.

    • Well lighted

    • Outside the flow of traffic

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The officer should select the first safe location that is familiar to them, well lighted, and outside the flow of traffic. This ensures that the officer can easily navigate the area and have a clear view of their surroundings, reducing the risk of accidents or dangerous situations. Additionally, being outside the flow of traffic minimizes the disruption to other drivers and allows for a safer interaction between the officer and the vehicle being stopped. Therefore, selecting a location that meets all of these criteria is the best approach.

    When calling out on a vehicle stop, it is important for an officer to provide dispatch with specific information. This includes the location of the stop, a description of the vehicle, the number of occupants in the vehicle, and the reason for the stop. This information is crucial for dispatch to accurately record and relay to other officers who may be in the area. It helps ensure the safety of both the officer and the occupants of the vehicle, as well as maintaining effective communication between the officer and dispatch. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

    During an officer’s approach to the suspect vehicle, the officer should observe the big picture and check for the unusual.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During an officer's approach to a suspect vehicle, it is important for the officer to observe the big picture and check for anything unusual. This means that the officer should not only focus on the suspect vehicle itself but also be aware of their surroundings and look for any suspicious activities or behaviors. By doing so, the officer can gather valuable information and assess potential threats or risks before taking any further action. It is crucial for officers to maintain situational awareness and prioritize officer safety during such encounters.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Emergency lights and siren
    Explanation
    During a high-risk/felony vehicle stop, it is crucial for the officer to use emergency lights and siren. This combination of visual and auditory signals is necessary to grab the driver's attention and communicate the seriousness of the situation. The lights ensure that the officer is easily visible, while the siren adds an additional layer of urgency, helping to ensure that the driver understands the need to stop immediately. By using both emergency lights and siren, the officer maximizes the chances of a successful and safe stop.

    When calling out on a vehicle stop, an officer should provide dispatch with the location, vehicle description, number of occupants, and reason for the stop. This information is essential for dispatch to accurately relay the details to other units and ensure officer safety. Knowing the reason for the stop allows dispatch to prioritize the call and provide appropriate assistance if needed. Additionally, it helps in documenting the incident and providing a clear record of the officer's actions.

    • Requesting the driver’s license and insurance

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The initial greeting by the officer during a vehicle stop should include providing the officer's name and agency, informing the driver why he/she was stopped, and requesting the driver's license and insurance. This is important for establishing communication and transparency between the officer and the driver. Providing the officer's name and agency helps build trust and accountability. Informing the driver why they were stopped ensures clarity and understanding. Requesting the driver's license and insurance is a standard procedure to verify identification and compliance with legal requirements. Therefore, all of the above options should be included in the initial greeting.

    Rate this question:

    If an officer stops a motorcycle, the officer should have the driver do what with his/her helmet?

    • Place the helmet on the motorcycle

    • Carry the helmet in his right hand

    • Carry the helmet in either hand

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Place the helmet on the motorcycle
    Explanation
    When an officer stops a motorcycle, it is important for the driver to place the helmet on the motorcycle. This is because wearing a helmet is a safety requirement while riding a motorcycle, and placing it on the motorcycle ensures that it is easily accessible for the driver to put it back on after the interaction with the officer is over. Carrying the helmet in either hand or not placing it on the motorcycle may result in the driver forgetting to put it back on, which can put their safety at risk.

    • Firearm carrying box

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "all of the above" because the non-resident is required to store the firearm within a locked vehicle or locked container within the vehicle. This can include a glove compartment, trunk, or firearm carrying box. So, all of these options are valid ways to store the firearm when the non-resident leaves their vehicle unattended.

    Explanation
    The statement is false because if a concealed carry licensee no longer meets the eligibility requirements, their license can be revoked regardless of whether they possess a valid driver's license.

    A. True
    Explanation
    When an officer or agency believes that an applicant for a concealed carry license poses a risk to themselves, others, or public safety, they have the authority to raise an objection to the license application.

    Explanation
    A concealed carry licensee is someone who has been granted permission to carry a concealed firearm. It is important for public safety that individuals who are carrying firearms are not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as it can impair their judgment and increase the risk of accidents or violence.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Officers should check the status of a driver's license by using the person's name, sex, race, date of birth, or driver's license number. This is because these are the commonly used identifiers to verify a person's identity and ensure that the license is valid. By cross-referencing these details with the information in the system, officers can determine if the license is active, expired, suspended, or revoked. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.

    Explanation
    The officer should check the LEADS return against the vehicle's VIN when checking a vehicle's registration.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because transporting a bottle of Tequila in the front passenger area is allowed as long as it remains in its original container and has not been opened.

    Without reasonable suspicion or probable cause, the person is not legally detained and may leave at any time. This means that if an officer stops and questions a person without any valid reason to suspect them of a crime, they cannot detain the person for any length of time. The person has the right to walk away from the situation without any legal consequences.

    The _____________ doctrine is a rule created to justify the seizure of contraband (other than a weapon) discovered on the suspects person during a frisk.

    • Reasonable Suspicion

    • Plain Feel/Plain Touch

    • Contraband

    • Open View

    Correct Answer
    A. Plain Feel/Plain Touch
    Explanation
    The Plain Feel/Plain Touch doctrine allows law enforcement officers to seize contraband that is discovered on a suspect's person during a frisk. This doctrine is based on the idea that if an officer can feel an object during a lawful pat-down search and can immediately recognize it as contraband, they can seize it without a warrant. This doctrine is used to justify the seizure of items such as drugs or other illegal substances that are felt during a frisk.

    While “patting” down a suspect for weapons you feel an object (without manipulation) that through your training and experience you believe is a “crack” pipe you are allowed to seize the item as contraband.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If, while patting down a suspect for weapons, an object is felt that is believed to be a "crack" pipe based on training and experience, it is allowed to be seized as contraband. This suggests that the officer has reasonable suspicion that the object is illegal and can therefore take action to confiscate it.

    Upon concluding the investigation, the officer should inform the driver of ___________.

    • The violation

    • The enforcement action to be taken

    • Bonding options

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Upon concluding the investigation, the officer should inform the driver of all of the above. This means that the officer should inform the driver of the violation they have committed, the enforcement action that will be taken against them, and the bonding options available to them. By informing the driver of all these aspects, the officer ensures that the driver is fully aware of the situation and the consequences of their actions.

    A vehicle stop must be based on _________.

    • Reasonable suspicion

    • Officer intuition

    • Reasonable articulation

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Reasonable suspicion
    Explanation
    A vehicle stop must be based on reasonable suspicion, which means that law enforcement officers must have a reasonable belief that a person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime. This standard is lower than probable cause but still requires some objective facts or circumstances that would lead a reasonable person to suspect criminal activity. Officer intuition alone is not sufficient to justify a vehicle stop, as it must be supported by specific and articulable facts that can be explained and justified. Therefore, the correct answer is reasonable suspicion.

    When selecting a location for a vehicle stop, the officer should select the first safe location

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The officer should select the first safe location when selecting a location for a vehicle stop because it is important to prioritize the safety of all individuals involved. By choosing a safe location, the officer can minimize the risk of accidents or harm to themselves, the driver, and any passengers. This ensures that the stop can be conducted in a secure environment, allowing for effective communication and assessment of the situation. It also helps to prevent any potential disruptions to traffic flow or endangerment to pedestrians. Therefore, selecting the first safe location is crucial for the overall safety and efficiency of the vehicle stop.

    After a vehicle stop and before the approach, an officer should make a mental note of the surroundings and determine the probability of the driver and/or occupants being associated with criminal activity.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Before approaching a vehicle after a stop, it is important for an officer to assess the surroundings and evaluate the likelihood of the driver and/or occupants being involved in criminal activity. This is a crucial step for the officer's safety and to determine the appropriate course of action. By making a mental note of the surroundings and assessing the probability of criminal association, the officer can better prepare for any potential risks or threats that may arise during the interaction.
