Ontario Private Investigator Practice Exam

When can a person be arrested without a warrant according to the Trespass to Property Act?

1. Only if they have stolen property on them

2. Only if they resist arrest

3. If they are in violation of section 2

4. Only during nighttime

The correct answer is: If they are in violation of section 2

According to the Trespass to Property Act, a person can be arrested without a warrant if they are in violation of section 2. This section pertains to individuals who are trespassing or have entered a property without permission. Option A is incorrect because it only applies if the person has stolen property on them, not if they are simply trespassing. Option B is incorrect because it suggests that resisting arrest is a requirement for being arrested without a warrant, which is not the case. Option D is incorrect because there is no stipulation in the act about the time of day when a person can be arrested without a warrant.
