Question

The officer found the blueprints of the bank building located downtown and a list of materials for what looked like the makings of a bomb. Even though Sandy had not gone through with the bombing of the bank building, the officer arrested her on _______________ charges.

Answer 1

The correct answer is Inchoate offense charges or preliminary crime charges

In the case exposed, Sandy had not committed a crime when she was caught by the police, but it seems she was planning to bomb the bank building, which is, of course, a serious crime, because of this Sandy can be arrested for inchoate offense of preliminary crime considering the list and blueprints are the evidence of Sandy preparing to commit a crime or attempting to commit it.

Answer 2

The officer arrested Sandy on Inchoate offence charges.
Inchoate offence charges are based on the conspiracy of persons to commit or solicit a crime.
