    You stop a woman who came out of a known drug house. During the consensual stop she admits she bought marijuana while inside the house. What would she be charged with?

    • A.

      Possession of a controlled substance

    • B.

      Attempted Trafficking in Drugs

    • C.

      Drug Paraphernalia

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Possession of a controlled substance
    Explanation
    The woman would most likely be charged with "Possession of a controlled substance." In this scenario, admitting to buying marijuana directly implies possession, which is a chargeable offense under the laws of many jurisdictions. The specifics of the charge can vary based on the amount of marijuana in her possession and local or state laws regarding marijuana use and possession. "Attempted Trafficking in Drugs" generally requires intent to distribute, sell, or traffic the drug, which is not indicated by her admission of purchase for presumably personal use. "Drug Paraphernalia" refers to items used to consume, produce, or distribute drugs, and without specific mention of such items, this charge may not apply based solely on her admission of buying marijuana.

Therefore, it is the most comprehensive and inclusive option among the given choices.

It is a common category of traffic violations and is often enforced by law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety of drivers and other road users.

    C. Arrest, search, and seizure
    Explanation
    The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution serves the purpose of protecting the rights and liberties of individuals by setting limits on the government's power to arrest, search, and seize property. It requires that law enforcement officers have probable cause or a reasonable suspicion before conducting these actions, ensuring that they are not carried out arbitrarily or without just cause. The Fourth Amendment also provides safeguards against unreasonable searches and seizures by requiring warrants to be issued based on probable cause, except in certain circumstances such as consent searches.

    The stance of an officer is not a reason for a person to be seized. Seizing someone typically involves physical actions such as touching, displaying a weapon, or the threatening presence of several officers. The stance of an officer, which refers to their posture or position, may convey a certain demeanor or attitude but it alone does not justify seizing someone.

    An Officer Can Use the Rationale From Terry to Detain a Person 

    • A.

      Mere suspicion and consent

    • B.

      Probable cause and consent

    • C.

      Probable cause and reasonable suspicion

    • D.

      Reasonable articulable suspicion

    Correct Answer
    D. Reasonable articulable suspicion
    Explanation
    An officer can use the rationale from Terry to detain a person based on reasonable articulable suspicion. This means that the officer must have specific and objective facts that lead them to believe that the person is engaged in criminal activity. This standard is lower than probable cause but higher than mere suspicion. It allows officers to briefly detain and investigate a person if they have reasonable grounds to suspect that the person is involved in criminal activity, even if they do not have enough evidence to establish probable cause.

    During a traffic stop, a lawful search of a vehicle can be conducted if the officer obtains consent from the driver or has probable cause to believe that there is evidence of a crime in the vehicle. Immediate searches without reason, waiting for a supervisor, or searching based solely on a prior criminal record are not appropriate or lawful procedures.

    Explanation
    In high-risk vehicle stops, the location is not one of the initial things to control. This means that controlling the location of the stop is not a priority when conducting a high-risk vehicle stop. Instead, other factors such as the position of the hands, the visibility of the eyes, and the accessibility of keys are considered more important in ensuring the safety of the officers involved in the stop.

When using the 4-cornered approach for taking photos, it is important to overlap the pictures to ensure a complete and accurate capture of the room. By overlapping the photos by approximately 30%, it helps to create a seamless and cohesive image when stitching the photos together. This ensures that no areas or details are missed and provides a more comprehensive view of the room.

When individuals have a better understanding of different cultures, they are less likely to engage in discriminatory behavior or make biased decisions that can result in legal consequences. Additionally, understanding different cultures can also lead to an end to old ideas, as it challenges stereotypes and encourages individuals to adopt more inclusive and progressive beliefs. By embracing new perspectives, people can overcome outdated notions and create a more harmonious and accepting society.

    Explanation
    The cardinal rules of crime scene photography include maximizing depth of field, filling the frame, and keeping the lens perpendicular to the subject. However, keeping the evidence parallel to the subject is not one of the cardinal rules. This means that it is not necessary to ensure that the evidence is aligned or parallel to the subject in crime scene photography.

    • B.

      4-cornered approach

    • C.

      Mid-range or evidence establishing shots

    • D.

      Long-range shots or overall establishing

    Correct Answer
    D. Long-range shots or overall establishing
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "long-range shots or overall establishing." This is because long-range shots or overall establishing shots are not typically used in crime scene photography. These types of shots are more commonly used in cinematography or photography to establish the location or setting of a scene, rather than to capture detailed evidence or document the crime scene. Crime scene photography usually focuses on close-up shots of evidence, mid-range shots to establish the context, and 4-cornered approach shots to capture all angles of the evidence.

    Which of the following is a general indicator of meth making?

    • A.

      Tubes or hoses attached

    • B.

      Containers with multiple layers of solids

    • C.

      Containers with layers of both liquids and solids

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    C. Containers with layers of both liquids and solids
    Explanation
    Containers with layers of both liquids and solids can be a general indicator of meth making. Methamphetamine production often involves the use of various chemicals and substances that can separate into different layers. These layers can consist of both liquids and solids, indicating the presence of a meth-making process. This could be due to the separation of different chemicals used in the production or the formation of by-products during the manufacturing process. Therefore, containers with layers of both liquids and solids can suggest the involvement of methamphetamine production.

    You respond to a domestic dispute when you notice a group of TVs sitting in the corner unplugged. You remember there had been a spree of TV thefts in the area. You turn the TVs around and discover the serial numbers match the ones that were stolen. Did you find this evidence legally?

    • A.

      Yes, because you had access to them

    • B.

      Yes, because you were legally inside the home already

    • C.

      No, because they were not immediately recognized as contraband

    • D.

      No, because The TVs had nothing to do with the call

    Correct Answer
    C. No, because they were not immediately recognized as contraband
    Explanation
    The correct answer is No, because they were not immediately recognized as contraband. In order for the evidence to be considered legally obtained, it must be immediately recognized as illegal or contraband. In this case, the TVs were only discovered to be stolen after they were turned around and the serial numbers were checked. Since they were not initially recognized as stolen, the evidence may not be admissible in court.
