THREAD: When is a warrantless arrest effected? In the context of the Dasma Village incident. Warrantless arrest can be done in 3 situations 1.) Caught in the act 2.) Probable cause to believe a crime has been committed 3.) A prisoner escaping from jail @rapplerdotcom

In the video, cop is heard saying "I& #39;m arresting you in my presence" which can mean "you have done a crime in my presence so I& #39;m arresting you" or caught in the act. So what is the crime that was caught in the act? Police can argue it& #39;s Art 151 or disobedience to authority

The resident can argue: but it& #39;s my private property and why was I being accosted in the first place?

The man& #39;s staff was allegedly working in the garden without face masks. While there are no laws that make non-wearing of face masks as a crime, we have RA 11332...

RA 11332 or the Mandatory Reporting of Notifiable Diseases Act prohibits the "non-cooperation" of virtually anybody. It is a broad law, and its use in the lockdown has been slammed by human rights lawyers. But as we stand, this is the legal mechanism the govt is working on.
