Question

For most violations of the law, a police officer can usually exercise a number of options. Five are listed in your textbook, and three of these are listed below. Which of the following is NOT one of the options listed in your textbook?
A) Making a physical arrest
B) Issuing a written warning
C) Giving a verbal warning
D) Using lethal force

Answer 1

Answer:D) Using lethal force

Explanation:

The police has the right to execute the arrest using a proper arrest warrant obtained from the court. But may also execute arrest without warrant in case of henious offences. The police may also issue a written warning to first time offenders if crime is not henious. The police can also use verbal warning to prevent the delinquent behavior.

The police cannot use lethal force while arresting a person or during the interrogation process as this will affect the ability of the offender to provide genuine statement in the court of law. This is against the interrogation guidelines of police.
