Can you be held criminally responsible if you use excessive force?

True
False
Not applicable
Depends on jurisdiction

The correct answer is: True

Yes, the correct answer is A. If someone uses excessive force, they can be held criminally responsible for their actions. This refers to any disproportionate force used by a person in a position of authority, including but not limited to law enforcement officers. While option D mentions jurisdiction as a factor, it is important to note that the use of excessive force can be illegal and prosecuted under federal law. Option C, "Not applicable," is incorrect because being held criminally responsible for actions is applicable regardless of the situation. Option B, "False," is also incorrect because using excessive force can result in criminal charges.
