< Prev
Next >
Merv was walking his dog late at night when police officers stopped him. They demanded to know where he was coming from, why he was out so late, and how much money he was carrying. Merv explained that he had no specific destination, carried no money, and was simply walking his dog. Can he be lawfully arrested under these circumstances?
AYes, because Merv is required to carry money and have a specific destination.
BYes, because Merv could be planning to commit a crime in his neighborhood.
CNo, because the police cannot prove from the evidence that Merv is a vagrant, and the rule of law applies.
DYes, because Merv failed to provide answers that satisfied the police.
