Practice question
At a checkpoint, police stop a privately owned car used only by its owner. They open personal effects and cite Saluday solely because the car is moving on a public road. No independent exception is established. Which is correct?
- The public-transport guidelines do not supply that justification because private cars are expressly excluded
- Every moving private car is covered by the guidelines
- A public road eliminates all privacy in personal effects
- Only the number plate determines consent
- The owner must physically resist to retain protection
