Under Full Criminal Immunity, which statement is true?

• A. The individual cannot be arrested or detained
• B. The individual can be prosecuted
• C. The individual can be searched
• D. The individual can be compelled to testify against themselves

Answer: (A)

Full Criminal Immunity protects a witness from criminal liability for offenses tied to the testimony given. Because the immunity removes the possibility of prosecuting those offenses, the individual cannot be arrested or detained for them based on that testimony. This is the central effect of the immunity. The other statements don’t fit this specific protection. Immunity doesn’t blanketly prevent arrest or detention for unrelated crimes, and while immunity affects whether testimony can be used to prosecute, it doesn’t alone resolve every issue about searches or compelled testimony.
