  1. A driver presents an out-of-state license during a stop. The trooper should:

    NCIC and NLETS allow troopers to verify out-of-state and foreign licenses and check for outstanding warrants.

  2. During a high-speed pursuit, a supervisor orders the pursuit terminated. The trooper must:

    Answer: Discontinue immediately and follow supervisor's direction

    Supervisors have authority to terminate pursuits, and officers are bound to comply with that lawful order.

  3. A trooper stops a vehicle and smells fresh marijuana but marijuana is now legal in that state for adults. What should guide the trooper's next steps?

    Answer: Conduct a field sobriety test to determine impairment

    Even where marijuana is legal, the odor combined with driving creates reasonable suspicion of impaired driving, warranting field sobriety testing.

    Answer: Fourth Amendment

    The Fourth Amendment specifically protects against unreasonable searches and seizures and requires probable cause for warrants.

  5. A trooper encounters a suspect who provides a false name. Upon learning the real identity, the trooper discovers an outstanding arrest warrant. What happens to any evidence found?

    In Utah v. Strieff (2016), the Supreme Court held that evidence found after discovering a valid pre-existing arrest warrant can be admissible under the attenuation doctrine.

  6. During a traffic stop at night, the BEST officer safety practice is to:

  7. A trooper is dispatched to a domestic disturbance. Upon arrival, both parties deny any violence occurred. What should the trooper do?

    Answer: Separate the parties and interview them individually

    Separating parties reduces intimidation and allows for more truthful individual accounts before determining if a crime occurred.
