antiterrorism bill, particularly those allowing warrantless arrests and a detention period of up to 14 days without charges.
Lacson, who is also a retired PNP chief, is the main author of Senate Bill No. 1083, or the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020, which the House of Representatives adopted without changes and approved on final reading on Wednesday.Recently certified as urgent by President Duterte, the proposed measure would repeal Republic Act No. 9372, or the Human Security Act of 2007, which allows suspected terrorists to be detained only for three days without a warrant or formal charges.
In a radio interview on Friday, Lacson said that when Dela Rosa was still the chief of the Davao City police, his men were “forced to release [a terrorism] suspect since they knew the case will be dismissed due to insufficiency of evidence.” The police then knew that “they will be charged [with] arbitrary detention” if they would still keep the suspect in custody.
MRamosINQ Very idealistic.
MRamosINQ Ths PNP wants to short cut evidence gathering that is why they resort to planting evidence and in the case of Bato's experience, acting prematurely without suffcient evidence that is why their cases are thrown out of court.
MRamosINQ No comparison with SG. Our leader, chief executor of laws regularly say kill or shoot them dead on tv. Compare his cavalier attitude towards human life with that of the Singaporean leader’s. Then there’s the notorious track record of the PNP.
MRamosINQ Given that you want to prevent & stop terrorists, what are the safeguards against police abuses? Right now, the PNP are already emboldened to disregard constitutional rights, what will prevent them from continuing to abuse their power?
MRamosINQ Is this a joke? Bato the EJK implementer has no voice here.
MRamosINQ bakit naman experience ni bato, eh puro human rights violation na nga ang nangyari sa time niya, people are not even detained during his time but executed, ito detention pa lang. kung considered terrorist baka ipapatay na lang hindi lang kulong kung katulad ni duterte ang nakaupo
MRamosINQ How about your doing during the Metrocom time
MRamosINQ People this guy knows what his talking about, he knows the law, he knows how to use the law, he knows how to make a law and most of all, he believes the law. He was a former PNP chief, sabi nga nya di malalabag ang karapatan ng tao, remember KURATONG BALELENG? Walang nalabag!
MRamosINQ Experience in what? Planting evidence and the massacre of suspected small time drug peddlers and drug dependents while protecting illegal drug manufacturers and traders? Lacson and his masquerades are getting old.
MRamosINQ Sorry to disappoint you Ping, he is not interested in displaying his lack of intelligence in interpellation.
