1. To find the answer to which source of information is NOT considered in a police report, we need to understand what a police report is and what information it typically includes. A police report is a written record of an incident or crime that has been reported to the police. It provides an objective and documented account of the incident for legal and investigative purposes. Therefore, the sources of information included in a police report are typically those that contribute to the factual and objective account of the incident.
From the given options, the opinion of the reporting officer is NOT considered a source of information included in a police report. While the reporting officer's observations and findings may be included in the report, their personal opinions about the incident are generally not considered relevant or objective enough to be included as a source of information.
2. To understand the "leap frog" method in surveillance techniques, we need to have a basic understanding of different types of surveillance. Surveillance is the practice of monitoring or observing individuals, locations, or activities for various purposes, such as gathering information or preventing crime.
The "leap frog" method is an intermittent technique sometimes employed in vehicular surveillance. Vehicular surveillance involves using vehicles to follow, monitor, or track a targeted individual or group. The "leap frog" method refers to a tactic where surveillance vehicles take turns following the target, allowing one vehicle to drop back periodically while another vehicle takes over the observation. This method helps maintain surveillance coverage while minimizing the risk of detection by the target.
3. To determine which of the given options is NOT an example of larceny, we need to understand what larceny is and what activities it typically includes. Larceny is a criminal offense that involves the unlawful taking and carrying away of another person's property without their consent and with the intent to permanently deprive them of their property.
From the given options, a thief forcing a man to give up his wallet is NOT an example of larceny. This scenario involves robbery, which is the act of taking someone's property by force or threat of force. In larceny, the property is taken without the use of force or threat of force. Therefore, this scenario does not fit the definition of larceny.
