Practice question: Customs Search

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A storage warehouse has a security employee sleeping inside but is not principally used as a dwelling. Does that fact alone necessarily convert it into a dwelling house for CMTA Section219?
  1. Yes, any employee presence always transforms the building
  2. No, so every unrelated house may also be searched
  3. The warehouse owner automatically loses title
  4. No; Section219 expressly addresses the storage-employee situation
  5. The employee’s presence extinguishes every customs duty
