The correct answer is (a). A police officer can conduct a frisk of the suspect if they have a reasonable suspicion that the suspect is armed and dangerous.
Explicación
## Step 1This problem is about understanding the rights and responsibilities of a police officer when dealing with a suspect who has been lawfully arrested. The options provided are different actions that a police officer can take, and we need to identify which of these actions are legally permissible.## Step 2Option (a) suggests that a police officer can conduct a frisk of the suspect. This is a legal action, as a police officer can perform a pat-down search (frisk) on a suspect if they have a reasonable suspicion that the suspect is armed and dangerous.## Step 3Option (b) suggests that a police officer can conduct a thorough search of the suspect. This is not typically allowed unless the suspect is under arrest and the officer has a warrant for a full search.## Step 4Option (c) suggests that a police officer can lock the suspect in jail and throw away the key. This is not a legal action, as it is a violation of human rights and the suspect's right to due process.## Step 5Option (d) suggests that a police officer can conduct a search of the suspect's home, regardless of where the arrest occurred. This is not a legal action unless the officer has a warrant for the search.
