CJBAT Deductive Reasoning 4

Question 1

All felony arrests require fingerprinting. Marcus was arrested for grand theft, which is a felony. What must follow?

Accepted Answer

Marcus must be fingerprinted

Answer

Since grand theft is a felony and all felony arrests require fingerprinting, Marcus must be fingerprinted.

Question 2

No officer under probation may carry a firearm off-duty. Officer Chen is under probation. Which conclusion is valid?

Accepted Answer

Officer Chen cannot carry a firearm off-duty

Answer

The rule contains no exceptions, so Officer Chen cannot carry a firearm off-duty while on probation.

Question 3

Whenever a suspect flees on foot, officers must radio dispatch before pursuing. Officer Rivera spots a fleeing suspect and radios dispatch. What can be deduced?

Accepted Answer

Officer Rivera has satisfied the precondition for pursuit

Answer

Radioing dispatch is the required precondition; satisfying it means Rivera has met the requirement but no rule compels the pursuit itself.

Question 4

All vehicles traveling over 90 mph on the highway are subject to immediate stop. A vehicle is clocked at 88 mph. What follows?

Accepted Answer

The vehicle is not subject to immediate stop under this rule

Answer

88 mph does not meet the threshold of over 90 mph, so the rule does not apply.

Question 5

If a witness recants a sworn statement, the original statement becomes inadmissible. Witness Gomez recanted her sworn statement. What is the logical conclusion?

Accepted Answer

Gomez's original statement is inadmissible

Answer

The condition (recanting a sworn statement) is met, so the consequence (inadmissibility) follows directly.
