Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Training Academy (NVCJTA) Exam 3 Practice

Daytime execution is restricted to 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, with exceptions only when a judge or magistrate approves a different time for good cause or when the warrant is for the withdrawal of blood. The option that matches these approved exceptions is exactly that: a judge or magistrate can authorize another time for good cause or authorize the withdrawal of blood. This is why it’s the best choice. The other scenarios don’t provide a legally valid basis to extend or alter the hours: an officer can’t unilaterally deem it urgent; a traffic-offense warrant doesn’t create an exception; and a holiday doesn’t automatically change permissible hours.
