Everyday on your walk to school, you notice a man sitting on his porch drinking coffee. This man always has a small black box strapped around his ankle just above his slipper. One morning, you also see a police car parked in front of his house, and it seems as though he is being handcuffed by one officer while another officer holds the black box that was previously strapped to the man’s ankle. Using your knowledge of intermediate sanctions, what is the most probable reason the man is being arrested?
Answer
A
He has finally been found guilty for the crime he was accused of.
B
He removed the black tracking device by himself without the consent of a judge.
C
He missed his first court hearing while under house arrest.
D
The judge has ordered the man be immediately arrested and taken to jail.
Explanation
The black box is an electronic monitoring device, often used as an intermediate sanction to track someone serving house arrest or another community-based sentence. If the man removed it without authorization, he likely violated the court’s conditions, which could lead to his arrest. The best answer is “He removed the black tracking device by himself without the consent of a judge.”
