Question: 1 / 400

In which situation could a representative's statement about security be construed as advertising security?

Stating "we've never had a crime here"

The statement "we've never had a crime here" implies a level of security that suggests a guarantee or assurance to potential residents or clients. This kind of statement can be misleading because it conveys a strong sense of safety without substantiating it with factual data or context about the current security measures in place. Such assertions can be interpreted as a promotional claim, potentially categorizing them as advertising security, which can have legal implications if the perceived security does not align with reality.

While providing security measures to residents and posting a schedule of security checkpoints may also relate to security, these actions typically present factual information about existing practices rather than making an assertive claim about past or future security outcomes. Therefore, the potential misrepresentation inherent in claim A leads to its qualification as advertising security.
