Ontario Private Investigator Practice Exam

According to privacy laws, when should PI's exercise judgement regarding privacy?

1. When the subject is at a gravesite, participating in a religious gathering, or when minors may be present

2. When the subject is attending a sporting event

3. When the subject is on a public highway

4. All the time, regardless of the situation

The correct answer is: When the subject is at a gravesite, participating in a religious gathering, or when minors may be present

Privacy laws dictate that PI's should exercise judgement regarding privacy in situations where the subject is at a gravesite, participating in a religious gathering, or when minors may be present. This is because these situations may be sensitive or emotionally charged, and it is important to consider the individual's right to privacy. Option B and C may not necessarily require discretion, as there may not be any reasonable expectation of privacy in these scenarios. Option D is also incorrect, as there are certain situations where it may not be necessary to exercise judgement regarding privacy, such as when an individual is in a public place where there is no expectation of privacy.
