- B.

Correct Answer
B. FactsExplanation
Probable cause is only valid when backed by facts. This means that there must be concrete evidence or information that supports the belief that a crime has been committed or that a particular individual is involved in criminal activity. Suspicion or belief alone is not enough to establish probable cause. It is important for law enforcement officials to have factual evidence before taking any legal action or making an arrest.Rate this question:

Shoot the suspect

None of the Above
Correct Answer
C. Search the Suspect's VehicleExplanation
Probable cause allows law enforcement officers to search a suspect's vehicle. This means that if an officer has reasonable grounds to believe that there is evidence of a crime or contraband in the vehicle, they can conduct a search without obtaining a warrant. However, it is important to note that probable cause is a legal standard that must be met, and officers cannot conduct a search without proper justification.Rate this question:

An arrest is valid if you have probable cause, even if later it turns out you are wrong?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
An arrest is considered valid if there is probable cause, regardless of whether the person is later found to be innocent or guilty. Probable cause is a legal standard that requires a reasonable belief that a crime has been committed and the person being arrested is involved in that crime. It is based on the information available to the arresting officer at the time of the arrest. Therefore, even if it is later determined that the person arrested is innocent, the arrest is still considered valid as long as there was probable cause at the time.Rate this question:
