under ra 9165, all operations pertaining to drugs must be coordinated with the PDEA. prior to the actual buy-bust operation, most of the time may surveillance at "test buy." these things must be coordinated with the PDEA. so may record yan may control number. yung shabu na nabili sa "test buy" dalhin sa crime for laboratory examination to determine presence of methamphetamine hydrochloride. may record din yan. immediately prior to the actual buy-bust, may pre-operation briefing yan. may record din yan. it is during the pre-op dun yun malaman ng mga operatiba sino yung subject, who will stand as the poseur-buyer, the amount of buy-bust money, and the pre-arranged signal na consummated na yung transaction. now we go to actual buy-bust. yung poseur-buyer will approach the subject or target, give him the buy-bust money. in return, magbigay yung target ng sachet of sachets of shabu depende sa magkano yung binili ni poseur-buyer. when money and goods changed hands. ibigay ni poseur-buyer yung prearranged signal (like scratching of the head) na consummated na yung transaction. then the backup policemen swoop down on the pusher and declare that he is under arrest for violation section 5 RA 9165. the will conduct a search incident to a lawful arrest on the body of the person arrested baka may dalang baril na magamit again the arresting officer or may drugs pa in his pockets. the police will read him his miranda rights. then the police will conduct an inventory on the articles seized or confiscated from the possession of the pusher. noong una yung inventory kailangan gawin yan where the arrest was made but now that law was already repealed. puede na sa police station mag inventory. next, kailangan dalhin yun shabu na na-confiscated to the crime lab for examination. this is very important. the chain of custody of the drugs must be established sino yung nag dala from the time of confiscation up to delivery of the same to the crime lab. Naka kahon na yan kasi may "chain of custody" form. nakalagay dun sa chain of custody form what time of confiscation and what time na received sa crime lab yung shabu at sino ang nag dala nun and sino ang nag received dun sa crime. this is to ensure the integrity of the evidence against the accused. kung may shabu pa sa possession ni pusher other than the subject of the buy-bust, violation of section 11 yan.
violation of sec 5 9165 is a grave offense. so within 36 from arrest kailangang ma file na yan with the prosecutor's for inquest at ma file sa rtc yung information, otherwise the arresting officers will be held liable for delay in the delivery of arrested person to the proper judicial authority under 125 RPC.
