Two police officers stopped a car for a minor traffic violation. While one of the officers dealt with the driver and the traffic

violation, the other officer talked with the passenger. Seeking to question the passenger about gang involvement, but lacking reasonable suspicions of criminal activity, the officer ordered the passenger out of the car. As the passenger exited the car, the officer saw a bulge in the passenger's coat which the officer suspected might be a gun. Upon patting down the passenger, the officer felt the handle of a revolver and removed the gun. The passenger, who was a convicted felon, was charged with the possession of a gun by a prohibited possessor. Prior to trial, the defendant sought to suppress the gun as evidence, contending that its seizure was unconstitutional. Should the court suppress the gun as evidence? AYes, because, since the car had been stopped for a traffic violation, the officer could not order the passenger, who had not committed the violation, to exit the car. BYes, because, since the officer lacked reasonable suspicion that the passenger was engaged in criminal activity, the officer could not pat down the passenger. CNo, because a valid traffic stop gives an officer the right to pat down a passenger. DNo, because the gun was discovered as a consequence of a valid Terry stop and frisk.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

To be informed.

Explanation:

By the late 50's, US citizens had little to none defense against faulty products, factory defects and other issues. The consumer Bill of Rights was a response from the Federal Government against malicious business practices.

One of the 4 original rights, is the right to be informed. This states that any business is obligated to provide the customer enough information about the product, its functioning and features, so he/she can make a fully informed purchase.

This information provided by the business should always be clear, true and faithful.

In 1985, 4 other rights were added to the bill. Until now it has 8:

  • The right to safety
  • The right to be informed
  • The right to choose
  • The right to be heard
  • The right to satisfaction of basic needs
  • The right to redress  
  • The right to consumer education
  • The Right to a Healthy Environment
