What does section 494 of the Criminal Code describe?

The process for pressing charges
How to file a police report
When a member of the public can make an arrest
Limitations on search and seizure

The correct answer is: When a member of the public can make an arrest

Section 494 of the Criminal Code describes the circumstances in which a private citizen can make an arrest. This is the correct answer because it specifically outlines when a member of the public can make an arrest, legally and within the boundaries of the law. Choices A and B may seem like reasonable guesses, but they aren't mentioned in section 494 of the Criminal Code. While pressing charges and filing a police report are important steps in the criminal justice process, they are not the main focus of this section. Choice D may seem like it could be related to section 494, as it pertains to limitations on search and seizure. However, this topic is not mentioned or discussed in section 494, making it an incorrect choice. In general, it's important to read the question and potential answers carefully and critically evaluate their relevance to the topic at hand.
