or
is

to

Arrest
-
CORRECT
ANSWER-a
form
of
lawful
control
by
one
person
over
the
actions
or
movements
of
another.
An
arrest
is
taking
a
person
into
custody
IN
A
CASE
and
IN
THE
MANNER
authorized
by
law.
An
arrest
may
be
made
by
a
peace

or
a
private
person
(citizen's
arrest).
Criminal
Liability
-
CORRECT
ANSWER-criminal
penalties
that
can
be
imposed
for
a
wrongful
act.
For
example,
carrying
a
loaded
weapon
concealed
in
your
jacket
is
a
violation
of
the
Penal

the
criminal
penalty
for
the
offense
is
a
fine
or
jail
sentence
or
both. Intimidation
-
CORRECT

or
otherwise
frightening

or
confess
to
a

Excessive
Physical
Force
-
CORRECT
ANSWER-where
an
arrest
is
made,
the
law
allows
only
the
use
of
physical
force,
which
is
reasonable
or
necessary
to
restrain
the
suspect
if
he/she
is
resisting,
in
order
to
make
the
arrest.
Where
more
force
is
used
than
that
which
the
law
allows,
the
arresting
party
is
said
to
be
using
"excessive
force"
and
may
be
held
criminally
as
well
as
civilly
liable.
Infractions
-
CORRECT
ANSWER-offenses
that
are
punishable
only
by
a
modest
monetary
fine.
There
is
normally
no
jail
sentence
imposed
for

an

which
is
defined
as
an
infraction,
and
the
person
committing
the
offense
is
normally
cited
at
the
scene
in
a
fashion
similar
to
the
issuance
of
a
traffic
citation.

in
order
for
you

or

The
following
two
conditions
must
exist
in
order
to
arrest
a
person
on
a
felony
charge:
(1)
The
felony
must
have
been

and
(2)
A
reasonable
cause
must
exist
to
believe
that
the
person
being
arrested
actually
committed
the
crime.
Such
reasonable
cause
must
be
based
on
evidence
linking
the
person
to
the

Examples
of
such
evidence
may
include
physical
evidence
such
as
articles
of
clothing
belonging
to
the

and
left

the
scene
of
the

or
testimonial
evidence
such

guard/proprietary
private
security
officer
or
by
other

which
are
told
to
the
security
guard/proprietary
private
security
officer
in
which
the
suspect
was
observed
committing
the
crime.
Detainment
-
CORRECT
ANSWER-a
person
who
voluntarily
responds
to
questioning
and
is
not
actually
restrained
(i.e.,
free
to
go
at
any
time)
is
considered
to
be
detained.
A
person
may
be
detained
by
the
police
for
further
questioning
in
an
investigation,
and
that
person
is
not
necessarily
under
arrest.
