Practice question
An officer conducts an unrelated exploratory search far beyond a terminal’s normal security screening and invokes Dela Cruz solely because the person once bought a ferry ticket. No other basis is shown. Which is best?
- Any ferry ticket eliminates all protected privacy forever
- The ticket alone does not establish the reasonableness of every later intrusion
- The Court prohibited all scanner inspections
- Only the officer’s title controls
- Any discovered evidence proves the original search lawful
