OSH Security Practice Test

Section 10 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms covers

1. Freedom of religion

2. The right to vote

3. A security guard’s authority to search a person

4. A person’s rights on arrest or detention

The correct answer is: A person’s rights on arrest or detention

Section 10 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms specifically addresses the rights of individuals who are arrested or detained. It outlines two key rights: the right to be informed of the reasons for the arrest or detention, and the right to consult with legal counsel without delay. This section ensures that individuals are aware of their circumstances and have access to legal representation, which is foundational to protecting personal freedoms and rights within the legal system. The other options, while important rights and freedoms, are covered under different sections of the Charter. For instance, freedom of religion is addressed in Section 2, the right to vote is found in Section 3, and matters related to search authority are governed by different legal statutes rather than being explicitly outlined in the Charter itself.
