Reference no: EM133576779

Officers arrest Mork and Mindy for being in a stolen car. The officers ran the plate and it returned as stolen. They pulled Mork and Mindy over and arrested them. When the case goes to court, the defense attorney requests that the case be dismissed because the car was a rental vehicle that Mork and Mindy had rented and it had not been returned on time. The rental car company reported the car stolen when it was not returned on time. The defense attorney argued that the breach of the rental contract by Mork and Mindy did not constitute grand theft auto but instead is embezzlement. The judge agreed. The defense attorney said the case should be dismissed because his clients were falsely arrested for the wrong charge. Group of answer choices The defense attorney is correct. The officers violated Mork and Mindy's rights by not knowing how to do their jobs. As long as the officers had probable cause to arrest Mork and Mindy, the charge is irrelevant. None of these are correct The police get away with this type of activity all the time, fortunately the defense attorney argued People v. Whiteman and got the case dismissed.
