Which options correctly reflect REP when a person is searched?

• A. Exterior clothing only
• B. Clothes, what's under them, body fluids, lodged bullet
• C. Face and voice
• D. Fingerprints

Answer: (C)

Reasonable expectation of privacy governs what a person can reasonably keep to themselves during a search. The face and voice are personal identifiers people expect to keep private; they reveal who a person is, and probing or exposing them beyond necessity would intrude on that privacy. In a typical search scenario, that protective sense of privacy aligns most closely with the face and voice, making this option the best match for REP.

The other options describe what might be observed or handled during a search (exterior clothing, what’s under clothing, bodily materials, bullets, or fingerprints) but they don’t map as directly to the privacy expectations at stake in the concept of REP.
