What is the penalty for a PI who files fingerprints of a person other than the person so employed?

  1. Fine not exceeding $1000

  2. Imprisonment not exceeding six months

  3. Fine not exceeding $5000 or to imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both

  4. Community service for 100 hours

The correct answer is: Fine not exceeding $5000 or to imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both

A and B are incorrect because they do not provide a strong enough penalty for the serious offense of filing fingerprints for someone other than the person employed. D is incorrect because community service is not a suitable punishment for this type of violation. C is the only answer that provides a more appropriate consequence of a higher fine or longer imprisonment, or both, which reflects the severity of the offense.
