Police Entrance Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Under which circumstances can a physical arrest occur?

For any traffic violation

Only for vehicular manslaughter and DUI offenses

Vehicular manslaughter, DUI, hit-and-run, or at officer’s discretion

The option A is incorrect because physical arrests can occur for more than just traffic violations. For example, if someone commits a violent crime or poses a threat to public safety, a physical arrest may occur regardless of any traffic violations.

The option B is incorrect because physical arrests can occur for more than just vehicular manslaughter and DUI offenses. For example, if someone commits a hit-and-run or resists arrest, a physical arrest may occur even if those specific offenses were not committed.

The option D is incorrect because physical arrests can occur even if the violator does not resist citation. If someone commits a serious offense, a physical arrest may occur regardless of their compliance with a citation.
