Restricted areas are designated from what reference?

Restricted areas are designated from what reference?

• A. 18 U.S.C. 1382
• B. 18 U.S.C. 1383
• C. 18 U.S.C. 1324
• D. 18 U.S.C. 1350

Answer: (A)

Restricted areas are defined by a federal statute that authorizes the designation of off-limits spaces around federal installations. The reference that establishes this authority and makes unauthorized entry a crime is 18 U.S.C. 1382. It covers entering or remaining in restricted grounds, buildings, or other areas designated by competent authority, such as a military base or federal facility, and provides the basis for security personnel to enforce the prohibition. The other codes address different offenses, so they don’t provide the general authority to designate restricted areas for federal installations.
