Practice question: Checkpoint Searches

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A taxi is hired exclusively by a family for the trip and cannot pick up others until they alight. Officers rely solely on Saluday’s routine public-bus guidelines for an intrusive search. Is that reliance sufficient?
  1. No; the opinion expressly excludes that taxi arrangement from those guidelines
  2. Yes; every commercial vehicle is an open public bus
  3. Yes; paying a fare waives every search objection
  4. Yes; exclusivity always reduces protection to nothing
  5. Yes; the checkpoint label supplies every exception
