Reference - Scruffy

Multiple Choice

Reference - Scruffy. Sam is engaged in the criminal activity of growing marijuana in his home. A couple of police officers while randomly passing through the neighborhood saw Sam go to the mailbox. They thought that he looked a little scruffy, and they were concerned that they had not made a sufficient number of arrests in the past month. They decided to "check out" Sam. Therefore, they immediately broke down Sam's door, searched his home, and arrested him. The police officer in charge told Sam that because marijuana was involved, he lost his rights against self incrimination and that he might as well confess. Sam proceeded to confess to growing marijuana and a number of other crimes. The judge was so angry with Sam that he threw him in jail for two months without any kind of hearing.

A) Sam did not lose his right against self-incrimination.
B) The office was correct. Sam lost his right against self-incrimination because marijuana was involved.
C) Sam lost his right against self-incrimination because he did not immediately ask for a lawyer.
D) Sam lost his right against self-incrimination because he did not immediately say he raised his right against self-incrimination.
E) Sam lost his right against self-incrimination both because marijuana was involved and also because he did not immediately ask for a lawyer.
