MY VIEW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND A REBUTTAL 


WHILE I WAS LISTENING TO DXFL FM AFTER THE INCIDENT, ZAMBOANGA DEL NORTE GOVERNOR ROLANDO YEBES, A LAWYER AND ANOTHER LAWYER , TALKS ABOUT LEGALITY OF THE ARREST.

GOV. YEBES: AND I QUOTE, WARRANTLESS ARREST IS ILLEGAL FOR SOMEONE WHOSE CRIME IS JUST LIBEL. WARRANTLESS ARREST IS PERMITTED ONLY TO THOSE HIGH CRIMES LIKE MURDER AND THE LIKES. UNQUOTE.



THE GOVERNOR YEBES, SIR, PETTY CRIMES LIKE SNATCHING CANNOT MATCH THE LIKES OF MURDER. BUT THE PERSON CAN BE ARRESTED WITHOUT A WARRANT DEPENDING ON THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE ARRESTING OFFICER AND THE TIME. IT SHOULD NOT BE AFTER 24 HOURS.


COL. MACLANG USED THE PROVISIONS PROVIDED BY RULES OF COURT, RULE 113, SECTION 5 KNOWN AS FLAGRANTE DELICTO OR WITHIN THE TIME, THE ARRESTING OFFICER SAW THE CRIME BEING DONE.
