Question 5 3.33 pts A 75-year old man, Paul, went to the supermarket to do his weekly shopping. Because he is somewhat forgetful, he always prepares a shopping list to help him remember what to buy. Unfortunately, one day, he forgot and left his shopping list at home. While at the store, he kept reaching into his pocket, having forgotten he left the list at home. A store clerk saw Paul doing this, and he alerted the store's security guard that Paul is shoplifting. This store had problems with shoplifters, especially the elderly trying to steal food to supplement their meager pensions. After Paul passed the checkout counter, the security guard said, "OK, Pop's, what's in your pocket? When Paul replied that only his car keys and a shopping list were inside, the security guard instructed Paul to go to the office. Paul refused, and the security guard said, OK, have it your way," and he reached for a pair of handcuffs. Paul then complied as many of his neighbors were looking on and he didn't want to cause a disturbance. The security guard told him to have a seat, left for an hour, and locked the door from outside. While inside by himself, Paul was very upset at being led away in front of his neighbors. An hour later, the security guard returned with the store manager who had been on a lunch break when Paul was initially taken to his office. The manager then questioned the security guard who admitted that he never actually saw Paul put any store product in his pocket. Paul then told him he had been reaching for his shopping list, but had apparently forgotten it. When he heard Paul's explanation, the manager profusely apologized and walked with Paul out of the store. If Paul later sues for assault by the security officer, which of the following is the likely result? O No answer text provided. O A. Paul will win because he suffered emotional distress and embarrassment. O B. Paul won't win because the security guard did not intend to cause him harm. O C. Whether or not Paul wins will be determined by whether the security guard had probable cause to believe Paul was shoplifting. O D. Paul will win because the security guard should have determined whether Paul had any of the store product in his pockets before he escorted Paul to the office. Question 6 3.33 pts Vincent purchased a new Ford pickup truck from Uptown Ford, his local dealership. The truck came with a set of top-of-the-line tires manufactured by B.F. Dune Tires, Inc. However, Vincent was able to save $750 on the purchase price by allowing Uptown to substitute a lower-priced discount tire also manufactured by B.F. Dune. The design of the cheaper tires, however, sometimes caused them to blow out when driven at high speeds. On Independence Day last year, Vincent was driving 80 mph in a 55 mph zone when the tires on his new truck blew out, causing Vincent to lose control of the truck and end up in a ditch. Vincent was injured, and his truck was damaged. Vincent wants to sue after he learns the tires were defective. What is the likely result? O No answer text provided. O A. If Vincent sues either Uptown Ford or B.F. Dune, Inc. he should lose because he was speeding at the time of the accident. O B. If Vincent sues Uptown Ford, he should win because the tire was in a dangerously defective condition when Vincent purchased the truck. O C. If Vincent sues B.F. Dune, Inc., he should lose because he assumed the risk in purchasing discount tires for a reduced price. O D. If Vincent sues B.F. Dune, Inc., he should lose because Uptown Ford was negligent in selling the lower quality tires to Vincent
