Masked Bandit. Barry, who owned a small convenience store, was robbed when a masked bandit entered his store and demanded his cash while pointing a gun at him. As the bandit ran out of the store, Barry grabbed his own gun and shot the bandit in the leg. When the police arrived, Barry was arrested along with the thief. Barry claimed that no charges should be brought against him because his action in shooting the robber was justified. After the arrest, the officers searched his store and found marijuana. When Barry complained about the arrest and search, the officer in charge told him that since the state police were involved, federal constitutional rights were waived. Barry is attempting to obtain legal representation in an attempt to get out of jail, but cannot afford a lawyer because he just spent all his funds buying the illegal drugs for resale that have now been confiscated by the police. Sam, another inmate, asks Barry if the officers explained his rights to him; but Barry only recalls being arrested, hustled into the police cruiser, and whisked off to jail. The bandit will likely be charged with a(n) _____ offense.
A. felony
B. misdemeanor
C. petty
D. absolute
E. strict liability
Q:
Divorce Fallout. Dr. Fred, following a messy divorce, has encountered significant financial difficulties. Dr. Fred has a friend named Slick Slim who tells Dr. Fred that he has been making lots of money by selling people a wristband that allegedly places pressure on a nerve that signals hunger resulting in a lack of appetite. Slick Slim tells Dr. Fred that, although the device does not really work, people who want to lose weight and look good in their bathing suits will do anything and that it sells like hotcakes. Slick Slim tells Dr. Fred that he will pay Dr. Fred five dollars for every band that Dr. Fred can sell to his patients. Dr. Fred proceeds to mail letters to patients suggesting the use of the band for weight loss. He also uses UPS to mail samples of the band to some patients along with letters encouraging purchase of the bands. Dr. Fred then proceeds to bill Medicare for office consultations he has with patients when they come in to purchase the bands. The scheme is wildly successful. Dr. Fred is able to entirely satisfy his alimony obligations within just a few months. Unfortunately, as patients begin to see that they are not having any weight loss, he has been receiving numerous complaints, and a friend of his told him that he could even be facing some criminal prosecution. Which of the following offenses, if any, did Dr. Fred commit when he used UPS to send correspondence and samples of the bands to patients?
A. False pretenses
B. False entry
C. Defalcation
D. Mail fraud

Disappointed Applicant. Polly, who had a regular driver's license to operate an automobile, decided that she really wanted to drive a tractor-trailer truck. She thought that it would be nice to earn money while seeing the country. Polly had all applicable training and went to her state's department of motor vehicle office to take the test required in order to obtain a license to drive a tractor-trailer truck. While taking the test, in an effort to relieve stress, Polly was stretching her neck and looking around at the other nervous test takers. The proctor for the exam saw her and accused her of stretching and straining to look at the exam answers of other test takers. Her application to drive a tractor-trailer was denied. The local agency department head was also furious with Polly and proceeded to revoke her regular automobile driver's license as well. Applicable statutes provide as follows: (1) "the DMV may suspend or revoke the privilege of any person to operate a motor vehicle upon any of the grounds which authorize the refusal to issue a license"; (2) "the DMV may refuse to issue a license to any person who has "committed any fraud in any application." Polly hears that you have just finished business law and asks for advice. She says that she had decided that she does not really want to drive a tractor-trailer truck because of her neck problems but that she really would like to have her license to operate a regular automobile reinstated. The statutes setting forth the authority of the agency are called ______ statutes.
A. enabling
B. authorization
C. enforcement
D. dedicated
E. final

DUI Charge. Monique was licensed to train massage therapists.
