00:00Our questions on the law, you will answer that.
00:03Here is our heart on the law, Atty. Gabby Concepcion.
00:07Atty. Gabby.
00:10Another hot topic is the arrest.
00:14That was after Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo was arrested.
00:17And just last night, Pastor Apollo Quibuloy was also held by the authorities.
00:23In the case of Alice Guo, the arrest was controversial.
00:28After spreading the selfies of the authorities along with the former mayor.
00:33What is really the right procedure in arresting?
00:36Should they be arrested immediately?
00:38What if they are in another country?
00:41Can they take a selfie?
00:43Well, we will answer all of that.
00:45Ask me, ask Atty. Gabby.
00:48Attorney, what is the right procedure in arresting?
01:00Is there a difference if in another country, a case like Alice Guo was arrested
01:06that was not investigated while still in Indonesia?
01:10Well, actually, we do not have an authority to conduct an arrest in another country.
01:16This is because we are respecting the sovereignty and authority of a country.
01:21That is why the PNP cannot conduct police enforcement activities outside the territory of the Philippines.
01:28Can you imagine how chaotic it would be if any country can arrest people in different countries?
01:36It would be very chaotic.
01:39That is why we have what we call extradition treaties,
01:42which means that countries have agreements with each other.
01:45For example, there is an extradition treaty between the Philippines and Indonesia.
01:50And when there is an extradition treaty,
01:53it is to help in case a fugitive or escapee needs to be arrested from a country
02:00and to surrender him and return him to the requesting country to face the cases here.
02:06In the Philippines, usually, the SOP,
02:09the SOP is used by the person who was arrested for the safety and security of the arresting officer
02:15and other people around him.
02:17Although, this is not always required.
02:19There are occasions when an arresting officer may not be arrested.
02:24For example, it depends on the age and physical condition of the person who will be arrested.
02:30It can also be an offense or a crime that was not committed by the person who will be arrested
02:35If the offense is very simple, such as perjury, it may not be necessary.
02:40Of course, if the person is violent or the crime was committed,
02:44or it looks like he will escape, he should be arrested.
02:48This may depend on the arresting officer,
02:50but of course, if the person who was arrested or the person who was hurt suddenly escaped,
02:55of course, the arresting officer will be held accountable for not arresting him.
03:02The question is, does the law say anything about the proper conduct of the authorities in arresting?
03:08What should be the demeanor?
03:11Is it okay to take a selfie while being arrested?
03:14Well, if you ask me, it is not okay to take a selfie while being arrested.
03:19I suppose, there is no specific rule that says that it is prohibited to take a selfie with the person being arrested.
03:25But there is always an example that the police should always be professional.
03:31It is very unprofessional to take a selfie while being arrested.
03:35The trust and confidence of the public in this situation is lost.
03:40Let us remember that a person is not simply arrested under the law.
03:44It means that there is a high possibility that the person being arrested committed a crime.
03:49If the treatment is too friendly, people may suspect that it is just a rumor.
03:57Our public officials, especially the police, should ensure that their integrity is always maintained.
04:05That is where an institution like the police will be effective in our society.
04:11Stop taking selfies so that your partner will be a rock star.
04:16In any case, we will clarify the rules for the peace of mind.
04:23Don't think twice.
04:25Ask me, ask Atty. Gabby.
