PRC 241 Legal Block Practice Test

Arrest is the act of taking someone into custody under lawful authority, which deprives them of their liberty for the purpose of investigation or charging them with a crime. This fits the scenario precisely because it involves a formal action by law enforcement that restricts a person’s freedom. An offense is a crime itself, not the act of detaining someone. Contraband refers to illegal goods, not to a detention act. Evidence are items or information used to prove facts in court, not a deprivation of liberty.
