Practice question
Officers fail without reasonable grounds to record execution of an arrest warrant. Counsel says this failure alone necessarily nullifies the arrest; the officers say it can never have any consequence. Which is correct?
- Both assertions are correct.
- The arrest is automatically unlawful solely for lack of recording.
- The officers are absolutely immune from consequences.
- Neither assertion is correct: Rule 2 section 5 rejects automatic arrest invalidity from that failure but preserves specified contempt and other potential liability.
- The camera rules replace all constitutional arrest requirements.
