To whom may you turn your journal over?

  1. A Peace officer with probable cause

  2. A friend or family member

  3. Anyone who asks

  4. A notary public supervisor

The correct answer is: A Peace officer with probable cause

A peace officer with probable cause is the correct answer because they have the authority to access your journal and use it as evidence in a case. Choosing option B, a friend or family member, may not provide legal protection and they may not have the authority to access your journal. Option C, anyone who asks, can be dangerous as they may use your journal against you or share your personal information without your consent. Option D, a notary public supervisor, may not have the authority to access your journal unless they have probable cause as well. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate answer.
