Under what circumstance does a public servant commit the offense of Official Oppression?

  1. Subjecting another to mistreatment or unlawful actions

  2. Displaying a firearm in public

  3. Participating in a riot

  4. Making silent abusive calls to 9-1-1 service

The correct answer is: Subjecting another to mistreatment or unlawful actions

A public servant commits the offense of Official Oppression when they subject another person to mistreatment or unlawful actions. This means that they abuse their power and authority in order to oppress someone else. Displaying a firearm in public, participating in a riot, and making abusive calls to 9-1-1 are all forms of misconduct, but they do not fall under the specific offense of Official Oppression.
