Explanation:
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), before requesting a consumer credit report for employment purposes, the user of the report must inform the person that a report will be used, provide identification of the specific basis for the use of the report, disclose the source of the report, and offer a check box if the person desires a copy of the report. This ensures transparency and allows the individual to understand and have control over the use of their credit report for employment purposes.
Explanation:
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), employers are required to obtain written consent from the applicant before obtaining their credit report for employment purposes. However, there are certain positions that are exempt from this requirement, such as managerial positions or positions involving access to sensitive financial information. Therefore, it is not true that Mark may not obtain a credit report for employment purposes under any circumstances.
Explanation:
When a private investigator is the first person to arrive at a crime scene, his or her initial action should be to call the police. The only exception to this rule is if there is an injured or endangered person, in which case the private investigator should provide assistance. Most of the time, a private investigator will not have access to a crime scene until after the police have finished their work. Before entering a crime scene, the investigator should always check with the police. It is all too easy to contaminate a crime scene inadvertently.

Explanation:
One potential problem with the "pride and ego down" interrogation technique is that, if it fails, it may be difficult for the interrogation to continue. This interrogation technique was developed by the United States military. In brief, it entails criticizing the subject so that he or she feels compelled to respond and, in doing so, possibly revealing more information than he or she should. There is the risk, however, that the subject will simply be offended or will refuse to cooperate, and the interrogation will be difficult to continue.
Explanation:
Erratic driving is the most likely behavior to draw suspicion from the target in mobile surveillance. This is because erratic driving can attract attention, raise suspicion, and potentially alert the target to the fact that they are being followed or monitored. Staying a safe distance behind the target vehicle and driving the speed limit are cautious and inconspicuous behaviors that would not typically raise suspicion. Therefore, the correct answer is erratic driving.
Explanation:
All of the above statements would most likely be admissible in court. Hearsay evidence is the introduction or reporting of a statement made by someone other than the witness who is currently testifying. In most situations, hearsay evidence is inadmissible in court. However, a judge will often allow hearsay evidence if it entails plans to commit a crime in the future, or if it is made in the heat of passion. With regard to the latter scenario, the courts recognize that people often make incriminating or telling remarks in a moment of excitement and then either do not remember making the statement or deny having made it. In general, the courts will allow these remarks to be introduced as evidence. In similar fashion, the courts will often admit statements made by a witness on his or her deathbed as evidence. Not only would it be impossible for the witness to appear in court, but it may be presumed that a dying person has less incentive to lie.
Explanation:
Robert's actions violate Janet's right to privacy. Even though Janet is a public figure, she still retains a reasonable expectation of privacy in certain situations, such as when she is in a private setting like a clothing store. By blocking Janet's exit and taking close-up photographs against her wishes, Robert intrudes upon her privacy rights. This can lead to legal consequences, including potential civil penalties such as damages and fines. Additionally, such actions may result in the suspension or revocation of Robert's Private Investigator license by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services.

Explanation:
Private investigators are professionals who conduct investigations on behalf of individuals or organizations. They are not exempt from the law and must adhere to all applicable laws at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels. This means that they cannot break laws or engage in any illegal activities during the course of their investigations. Their authority is limited to gathering information within the boundaries of the law, and they do not have the same powers as law enforcement officers. Therefore, the correct statement is that a private investigator must follow all laws at all levels of government.
Explanation:
The correct answer is that the user of the report must advise the applicant that adverse action has been taken and supply the name and address or addresses of the consumer credit reporting agency making the report. This is because the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires that when adverse action is taken based on information in a consumer credit report, the user of the report must provide the applicant with a notice that includes the name, address, and phone number of the consumer credit reporting agency that provided the report. This allows the applicant to contact the agency and dispute any inaccuracies in the report.
