my friend got pulled over by PDEA

[CaRGirL]

[SIZE=2]this afternoon, a friend of mine was asked to pull over by 2 PDEA (Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency) agents in Las Piñas. my friend then pulled over in front of a store, where there were people outside. he opened his window slightly and the PDEA agents identified themselves as Agent Lozano & Agent Lopez (who was armed as well). he asked the agents why, they told him that his car (with the same plate #) was reported transporting illegal drugs. the agents was looking for a certain Andrew Fonacier and they have a search warrant with them. my friend then showed the car registration and it was under his name, when they matched the chassis # and motor #, it was completely different, even the car color was different, only the plate # matched. the agents said that the information came from LTO. my friend told them to let him go since he was not the one they were looking for, but the agents said that they will stil have to search the car, my friend refused, then the agents just apologized and let him go. my friend was really terrified from what happened.[/SIZE]

At least walang hindi magandang nangyari.

But makes you wonder where all that budget for 'Intelligence' actually goes to.

It pays to know your rights... gotta be updated on law 101.

teka pangatlong post na to dito today about getting pulled over, I just hope that nothing bad happens.

In the case of our gov't... there's always a problem of intelligence, or rather, the lack of it. :P

buti nalang di mainitin ulo ng 2 officers

A similar incidient happened to a former staff of mine years back. But the difference in his situation was he and his car were taken to somewhere in Rizal. The poor boy thought he was going to be salvaged. The policemen were technically not within their jurisdiction because, AFAIR, they were Montalban police. He was apprehended in Mandaluyong. But, as it turned out, it was a case of mistaken identity. In fairness to the policemen, they apologized and even called my office to explain why my staff was late.

Why don't they save themselves the trouble and look at your drivers licence first before doing anything, SOP na yan... Pwede silang idemanda niyan.

Yes, my staff and his father filed a court case. Unfortunately, I don't know what happened to the case.

CaRGirL,

that was yesterday pm? around what time? san banda sa Las Pinas nang-yari yan?

better tell your friend to proceed to LTO at once to get clearance for his plate number.

smells of M.O., buti nalang hindi binuksan ng friend mo yung trunk baka plantahan pa yan ng drugs, tama yung sinabi earlier, you should start brushing up on your law101, and your rights as citizens. (i carry with me a copy of the constitution in my glove compartment for reference) most importantly your right to privacy, sa ganyang search you have the right not to open yung trunk mo unless may warrant sila na ipapakita, same goes with the your homes. Pag pinayagan mu sila, wala kang laban sa korte kasi binigyan mu ng consent..mahirap na..desperate times na ngayon and maraming masasamang elemento na naka-uniporme

[Chip]

i suggest we post a sticky on this board regarding our rights on the road, that way everyone can print out a copy and keep it in their glove compartment

im glad no one was hurt

[jasonub]

yes bawal magbukas even the glove compartment unless mayroon silang warrant.

[pepengtom]

nagbabakasakali baka makakotong pa e. hehehe

[ILuvDetailing]

AFAIK only visual checkup... but what if they insist opening your cars trunk or ask you to go down, anong magandang sabihin? mahirap makipagtalo sa pulis...

[BlueBimmer]

paxerox nung copy sa right of privacy hehe

[jasonub]

tell them bawal ang renerequest mo sabi ng lawyer ko si atty fortun. he he.

just tell them bawal sa batas ang renerequest nila at kung gusto nila buksan e dapat meron silang specific search warrant

they will stop bothering you

in my years of carrying a pistol on myself when the permit was still available, i have never been stopped and checked in the vehicle or even at the mall. in the case of the mall before entering show them your permit
