True or False: Under the charter of rights and freedoms, a security guard is required to advise a person why they are under arrest if they speak English.

The correct response indicates that it is false that a security guard must advise a person why they are under arrest if they speak English. Under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, individuals have the right to be informed of the reasons for their arrest and to consult legal counsel. However, the obligation to provide this information typically applies to police officers rather than private security personnel.

Security guards have a different set of responsibilities and are not granted the same authority as law enforcement. They do not have the legal obligation to inform a person of the reasons for an arrest, particularly regarding the language spoken. Their primary role involves maintaining order and safety within the premises they are responsible for.

This distinction highlights that while individuals have rights concerning arrest and detention, the requirements that bind public authorities (like police officers) do not necessarily extend to private security personnel, making the original statement false.
