Which of the following is an example of objective information?

• A. Address
• B. Demeanor of a DUI suspect
• C. Extent of injuries
• D. Suspect's motive

Answer: (A)

Objective information consists of facts that can be observed, measured, and verified by others without relying on personal opinions or interpretations. An address is a concrete, verifiable fact that can be confirmed through records, witnesses, or field verification, making it objective. Demeanor of a DUI suspect is a subjective impression—how someone appears or acts can vary between observers and isn’t measured the same way by everyone. The extent of injuries can be objective if documented by medical findings, but without medical records or a formal assessment it’s a judgment about severity that can differ between observers. A suspect’s motive is about why someone acted, which isn’t directly observable and is inferred, not verifiable from the scene alone. So, the address is the best example of objective information.
