CFE – Law — Question 49

A custodial arrest occurs when the suspect is questioned by a law enforcement officer.

Answer options

• A. True
• B. False

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a custodial arrest involves more than just questioning; it requires that the individual is not free to leave. Simply being questioned by law enforcement does not constitute a custodial arrest unless there are additional circumstances that restrict the person's freedom.
