Multiple Choice Medium Jurisprudence

Practice question

A peace officer makes a lawful warrantless arrest. Do the camera rules categorically exclude that operation?
  1. Yes, all warrantless arrests are excluded.
  2. No; Rule 2 section 3 applies recording in the same manner insofar as practicable.
  3. Yes, unless a later warrant is obtained.
  4. No; every lack of video automatically voids the arrest.
  5. Yes, because only courts may operate cameras.
