00:00Who else was the victim of the theft?
00:04He was the one who was accused of kidnapping and abduction.
00:08A man was abducted by the barangay 718 in Manila.
00:14After the abduction, you can see that the man is already handcuffed.
00:19His hands are tied.
00:20He has no clothes to put on.
00:22And there's a sock on his side.
00:25The victim is a criminology graduate
00:28who was just accused of kidnapping.
00:30Based on the story of the victim,
00:32before he was brought back to life,
00:34he was chasing the one who stole his cell phone.
00:37The police are still investigating the incident.
00:41Let's talk about this incident and your questions.
00:46Ask me, ask Atty. Gabby.
00:53This is really pitiful.
00:56Atty., there are instances where crime happens in public
01:01and there are people who are chasing the suspects.
01:05What does the law say about this?
01:08Can we just know when we see an incident like this?
01:13If there's a crime happening in front of you
01:16and you want to catch the culprit,
01:18and if you really saw what happened in front of you,
01:22and you want to catch the culprit
01:24without any threat to your own safety and life,
01:28why not?
01:29But if it's not advisable to catch a criminal,
01:34he's not going to give up without a fight.
01:37He's not going to give up without a fight.
01:39Although, if I were to ask,
01:41I would like to know if this is, for example,
01:44to stop or help the victim who is being abused or hurt.
01:48If a child is being abused in front of you,
01:52maybe this should be stopped.
01:54But it's better to call the police or the barangay
01:58and don't go to the suspects,
02:01especially if you don't know what really happened.
02:04Because of such incidents,
02:07all of you who raised your hands for the injured or the dead
02:10will have a liability for what happened.
02:14This is called injuries or death in a tumultuous affray.
02:18It's chaotic and it's a lot.
02:21But there are still criminals there and you will still be punished.
02:25Attorney, citizens' arrests are often mentioned
02:28in crimes in public places.
02:30For everyone's information,
02:32we just need to know when this should be done.
02:36That citizen's arrest is under Rule 113
02:40of our Rules of Criminal Procedure.
02:43It is stated here that while it is possible
02:46for an ordinary person to commit an arrest,
02:50it cannot be done just like that.
02:53Under the law,
02:54an unwarranted person can only be arrested
02:58if it is called an inflagrante delicto
03:01or caught in the act.
03:03It can also be done if it is just a crime
03:06and they ran away
03:08and you saw it personally and you chased them.
03:11It can still be called a hot pursuit.
03:14But the requirement,
03:16personal knowledge,
03:17you should have seen the person you are chasing
03:21and he is the one who committed the crime
03:24and you saw it.
03:25Not just gossip, not just gossip,
03:28not just fake news.
03:30And always remember,
03:31the purpose of citizen's arrest
03:34is not to arrest and commit an inflagrante delicto.
03:37The purpose of this is to catch and bring him
03:41to the nearest precinct.
03:43That is why we are saying again and again here
03:46that it is better to call the police
03:50instead of taking the law into your own hands.
03:53Because maybe an innocent person
03:55will be in your way
03:57and in the end,
03:58you will be the one who will be prosecuted
04:00and will be answered here.
04:02We will give a clear explanation
04:05for the peace of mind.
04:08Don't think twice.
04:10Ask me, ask Attorney Gatto.
