Understanding the law is your first line of defense. While our Constitution protects us against unreasonable searches and seizures, there are specific instances where an arrest can be legally made even without a warrant.
In this video in Filipino, we break down Rule 113, Section 5 of the Revised Rules of Criminal Procedure to explain the three main scenarios for a warrantless arrest: 1. In Flagrante Delicto: When a person is caught in the act of committing a crime. 2. Hot Pursuit: When a crime has just been committed and there is personal knowledge of the suspect’s involvement. 3. Escaped Prisoners: When a person has escaped from confinement or custody. We also highlight essential reminders like your Miranda Rights and the necessity of Inquest Proceedings. Understanding these procedural rules is essential for upholding the rule of law and protecting individual rights. Infographics by: Micaela Jacinto 2nd Sem- Legal Intern BSBA major in Legal Management
