Philippine Constitution
SECTION 1
You cannot be deprived of your life, liberty or property without any reason on their part and without giving an explanation or right be heard on your part on why you should not be deprive of your life, liberty or property. As regards to equal protection of the laws, it means the law applies to all, we are all protected by it, but we are all subjected to it once we violate its rules. Nobody shall be convicted without going through proper due process.
SECTION 2
Before a police officer can arrest or search a person, he must validly first secure a warrant of arrest or search warrant. Without it, any evidence that can be obtained by such shall become inadmissible evidence in court. And to get a warrant of arrest, the judge must personally issue it based on probable cause. Probable cause simply mean that "reasonable grounds to believe that a particular person has committed a crime, especially to justify making a search or preferring a charge." In short it simply means that a judge could not indiscriminately issued a warrant of arrest or a search warrant without reason.
Okay let’s go to some exemptions wherein a police officer would no longer need a warrant of arrest nor a search warrant. For warrant of arrest, a police would no longer need one if you commit the crime in his presence.
SECTION 3
Every person has the right to keep his communication or correspondence a secret. His communication with others by phone or by letter is a personal or private matter that nobody should intrude upon. But this right can be lawfully suspended upon order of the court if the safety and security of the people is at stake.
SECTION 4
There are four important rights embodied in this section: Freedom of speech; means an individual is free to speak or utter whatever he wants without prior restraint. Right to a Free Press; means an individual is free to write, publish, and circulate whatever he pleases without restraint. Freedom of assembly; refers mainly to a peaceful

    The Exclusionary Rule

    • 940 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The exclusionary rule is the best legal tool that is used to regulate the police but it confuses the rest of the criminal justice system (Stuntz 1). It is set up as a separation-of-power principle with local governments. The warrant issuing process is what is used to keep the police from invading the privacy of an individual (Lynch 4). If the exclusionary rule was not in effect the police would rarely go through the process to get search warrants and would use the evidence found rummaging around a persons home, vehicle, or even the individual themselves, without his or her permission searching for something that could possibly incriminate them (Lynch 4).…

    I think that there are not enough reasonable grounds for an arrest without a warrant. I think more reasonable grounds should be put into place in order to arrest someone without a warrant. This is because I think that if a victim phones the police with a worry they should arrest a person to stop them from doing something, however they usually wait until something has actually happened to the victim or their property.…

    I see that Article 1 talks about the Philippines right over their sovereignty. This includes the law enforcements that the country shall use as a medium of defense against other countries who are claiming that they own some of the Philippine territorial lands. Some issues or topics I seem to connect with this article is the Chinese officials claiming the Spratleys island which is popularly very rich in mineral resources such as oil. Not only China but also Malaysia, Taiwan and Japan. But controversies gets more hotter between the Philippines and China.…
