Answer to Question #31

What is the sole purpose of a Justice of the Peace warrant card? 

A) To be produced when questioned by police or other enforcement officers

B) To confirm the Justice’s appointment

C) To be displayed prominently at the Justice’s service location

D) To grant additional legal authority beyond ministerial duties

Answer B

Every newly appointed Justice of the Peace is issued with a card, which is commonly known as a warrant card.

The only purpose of the card is to confirm your appointment.

It is unethical to produce the card when questioned by police.
