    If the owner of a stolen recovered vehicle cannot be contacted, who performs the tow?

    • State tow

    • City tow

    • Next in line tow

    Correct Answer
    A. City tow
    Explanation
    If the owner of a stolen recovered vehicle cannot be contacted, the city tow performs the tow. This is because the city is responsible for handling abandoned or stolen vehicles within its jurisdiction. They have the authority and resources to safely tow and impound the vehicle until the owner can be located or the situation is resolved. State tow and next in line tow may not have the necessary jurisdiction or authorization to handle such cases.

    A Search Warrant Must be served within ___ days of judge’s signature.

    Correct Answer
    10
    Explanation
    A search warrant must be served within 10 days of the judge's signature to ensure that law enforcement does not delay the execution of the warrant indefinitely. This time limit helps to balance the need for effective law enforcement with the protection of individual rights and privacy. It also ensures that the evidence obtained through the search remains valid and admissible in court, as any delay beyond the specified time limit may raise questions about the legality and integrity of the search.

    A person who is not an expert witness is called a ___ _______

    Correct Answer
    lay witness
    Explanation
    A person who is not an expert witness is called a lay witness. A lay witness is an individual who provides testimony in a legal proceeding based on their personal knowledge or observations, rather than specialized expertise. They are typically called upon to provide factual information or describe events they have witnessed, rather than offering opinions or analysis. Lay witnesses play a crucial role in presenting evidence and helping the court understand the facts of a case from a non-expert perspective.

    An attorney cannot, without the consent of his client, be examined as to any communication made by the client to him.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement is true because it is a fundamental principle of attorney-client privilege. The attorney-client privilege protects the confidentiality of communications between a client and their attorney. It ensures that clients can freely and openly communicate with their attorneys, knowing that their conversations will remain confidential. This privilege can only be waived by the client's consent, meaning that an attorney cannot be compelled to disclose any communication made by the client without the client's permission.

    The US Supreme Court held that if police were in _______________ of a fleeing suspect, they were entitled o make a warrantless entry to effectuate the arrest if they had probable cause to believe that the suspect committed a felony, and they believed he entered a specific dwelling

    Correct Answer
    hot pursuit
    Explanation
    The US Supreme Court ruled that if the police were actively chasing a suspect who was fleeing, they had the right to enter a property without a warrant in order to make an arrest. This was allowed if the police had probable cause to believe that the suspect had committed a felony and they believed that the suspect had entered a specific dwelling. This concept is known as "hot pursuit," where the urgency of the situation allows for a warrantless entry to prevent the suspect from escaping or causing harm.

    ________________ allows LEO's with probable cause to search an entire vehicle because of the mobility of the vehicle and the difficulty of obtaining a warrant in a timely manner.

    Correct Answer
    Carroll doctrine
    Explanation
    The Carroll doctrine allows law enforcement officers (LEOs) to search an entire vehicle without a warrant if they have probable cause. This is because vehicles are mobile and can easily be moved or driven away, making it difficult for officers to obtain a warrant in a timely manner. The doctrine recognizes the need for law enforcement to take immediate action to prevent evidence from being destroyed or lost.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    LEO's, or Law Enforcement Officers, must find and collect all evidence because what may not seem relevant at the time of investigation could potentially become significant later on. This is because new information or developments in the case may arise, and what was initially dismissed as irrelevant could potentially provide crucial insights or connections. Therefore, it is essential for LEO's to be thorough in their evidence collection to ensure a comprehensive investigation.

    • The Exclusionary rule is evidence that you can actually touch or see

    Correct Answer
    A. Evidence recovered illegally cannot be use against a suspect in a criminal prosecution
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that evidence recovered illegally cannot be used against a suspect in a criminal prosecution. The exclusionary rule is a legal principle that prohibits the use of evidence obtained through illegal means, such as an unlawful search or seizure, in a criminal trial. This rule is in place to protect the constitutional rights of individuals and ensure that law enforcement agencies adhere to proper procedures when gathering evidence. If evidence is obtained illegally, it is considered tainted and cannot be admitted in court to prove the guilt of the accused.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Reasonable suspicion that a person is armed allows you to conduct a Terry frisk. This is true because according to the Supreme Court case Terry v. Ohio, law enforcement officers are permitted to conduct a pat-down search, known as a Terry frisk, if they have reasonable suspicion that the person is armed and poses a threat to their safety. The purpose of a Terry frisk is to ensure officer safety by allowing them to protect themselves from potential harm.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement is true because it states that neither the wife nor the husband can be examined, either during or after the marriage, without the consent of the other, regarding any communication made between them during the marriage. This implies that there is a legal protection of privacy for the communications between spouses, preventing them from being used against each other in legal proceedings.

    When you pull over a motorcyclist, should you usually have them stay on the bike?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    When pulling over a motorcyclist, it is generally recommended to have them dismount from the bike. This is because it allows for better communication between the officer and the motorcyclist, as they can stand face-to-face and have a clearer line of sight to each other. Additionally, having the motorcyclist off the bike reduces the risk of them attempting to flee or use the bike as a weapon. Therefore, it is safer and more practical to have the motorcyclist stay off the bike during a traffic stop.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    When approaching a stopped vehicle, you should have your flashlight in your weapon hand.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    When approaching a stopped vehicle, it is not necessary to have your flashlight in your weapon hand. In fact, it is recommended to have your flashlight in your non-weapon hand so that you can use it to illuminate the area while keeping your weapon hand free and ready for any potential threats. This allows for better situational awareness and the ability to react quickly if needed.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    On a traffic stop you should make sure your doors are locked.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Locking your doors during a traffic stop is not necessary. It is important to keep your hands visible on the steering wheel and follow the instructions of the police officer. However, locking your doors may be seen as suspicious or confrontational, potentially escalating the situation. Therefore, it is advised to keep your doors unlocked during a traffic stop to show cooperation and to avoid any misunderstandings or unnecessary tension.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Evidence seized in an unconstitutional manner can be used to discover yet more evidence, since the items seized were illegal.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Evidence seized in an unconstitutional manner is generally considered inadmissible in court. The exclusionary rule, a legal principle, states that evidence obtained through unconstitutional means cannot be used against a defendant in a criminal trial. Therefore, the statement that such evidence can be used to discover more evidence is incorrect.

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    The given scenario does not meet the criteria for a hate crime. A hate crime is typically motivated by prejudice or bias against a person's race, religion, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics. While the incident involves individuals from different backgrounds, there is no indication that the assault was specifically motivated by hatred towards any of these characteristics. Additionally, the fact that the FLDS biker gang hates beehives does not establish a clear connection to a hate crime against the victim.

    Correct Answer
    A. Immediately after your investigation
    Explanation
    Writing a report on your investigation of a hate crime immediately after the investigation is the correct answer. This is because writing the report immediately ensures that all the details and information are fresh in your mind, leading to a more accurate and comprehensive report.

It is crucial to document the investigation promptly to maintain the integrity of the investigation and facilitate further actions if necessary.

This means that if a suspect is fleeing across state lines, the pursuing LEO can continue the pursuit and make an arrest, regardless of jurisdictional boundaries. This authority is granted to ensure that criminals cannot easily escape justice by crossing state lines. Therefore, the statement "True" accurately reflects this authority granted to LEOs in fresh pursuit situations.

    Explanation
    The exclusionary rule is a legal principle that states that evidence obtained in violation of the defendant's constitutional rights cannot be used against them in court.

    • False

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    In the given scenario, a warrant is not required if you are in hot pursuit of a fleeing felon who runs into a house and locks the door. The concept of hot pursuit allows law enforcement officers to enter a property without a warrant if they have a reasonable belief that the suspect poses an immediate threat or is attempting to escape. This exception to the warrant requirement is based on the need to quickly apprehend dangerous individuals and prevent the destruction of evidence. Therefore, in this situation, law enforcement can enter the house without a warrant to continue their pursuit.

    • Personal witness

    • General witness

    Correct Answer
    A. Lay witness
    Explanation
    A lay witness is someone who can testify about things that an ordinary person would be able to perceive and understand without any specialized knowledge or expertise. They can provide testimony based on their own personal experiences and observations, using reasoning that is common and familiar in everyday life. This distinguishes them from an expert witness, who would provide testimony based on their specialized knowledge or expertise in a particular field.

    At trial, hearsay for which there is no exception is inadmissible

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    At trial, hearsay evidence refers to statements made by someone other than the witness testifying in court. Generally, hearsay evidence is considered unreliable and is not admissible in court unless it falls under an exception. This means that if there is no exception applicable to the hearsay evidence, it will be deemed inadmissible and cannot be used as evidence in the trial. Therefore, the statement "at trial, hearsay for which there is no exception is inadmissible" is true.

    Correct Answer
    A. Not hearsay

    Recorded recollection is an exception to the hearsay rule

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Recorded recollection is indeed an exception to the hearsay rule. This exception allows a witness to testify about a statement they made in the past, even if they do not remember making the statement, as long as the statement was recorded or put into writing when the event was fresh in their memory. The rationale behind this exception is that the recorded recollection is considered more reliable than a witness's current recollection, as it was made closer in time to the event and is less likely to be influenced by subsequent events or biases. Therefore, the answer is true.
