Practice question
Officials invoke Saluday for a selective tip-driven search having none of its least-intrusive, nondiscrimination, public-safety or anti-planting safeguards. How did Sapla approach that reliance?
- It distinguished Saluday and examined whether its safeguards and factual basis actually existed.
- It treated the citation as conclusive regardless of facts.
- It held every vehicle search reasonable by definition.
- It abolished the safeguards because a text was received.
- It presumed all targeted intrusive searches are routine.
