CJBAT MCQ Questions and Answers 5 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: An officer reads: 'All vehicles parked in a fire lane for more than 5 minutes may be ticketed. Vehicles blocking a fire hydrant may be ticketed immediately.' A car has been in a fire lane for 3 minutes. What action is appropriate?
- Ticket the vehicle immediately
- Wait at least 2 more minutes before issuing a ticket (Correct answer)
- Call for a tow truck immediately
- No action is required as it does not block a hydrant
Correct answer: Wait at least 2 more minutes before issuing a ticket
The rule states ticketing is allowed after 5 minutes in a fire lane; only 3 minutes have elapsed, so the officer must wait at least 2 more minutes.
Question 2: A witness says she saw a suspect enter a blue building on the corner of 5th and Main, go up two flights of stairs, and turn left. If the stairwell is in the center of the building, which side of the building would the suspect be on?

- The side facing Main Street
- The side opposite 5th and Main corner
