89. CASE DIGEST
RODEL LUZ y ONG, Petitioner,- versus PEOPLE
OF THE PHILIPPINES, Respondent.
SECOND DIVISION G. R. No. 197788 February 29,
2012
90. FACTS:
PO2 Emmanuel L. Alteza, who was then assigned at the
Sub-Station 1 of the Naga City Police Station as a traffic enforcer,
saw the accused, who was coming from the direction of
Panganiban Drive and going to Diversion Road, Naga City, driving
a motorcycle without a helmet
That this prompted him to flag down the accused for
violating a municipal ordinance which requires all motorcycle
drivers to wear helmet (sic) while driving said motor vehicle
That while he and SPO1 Rayford Brillante were issuing
a citation ticket for violation of municipal ordinance, he noticed
that the accused was uneasy and kept on getting something
from his jacket
91. FACTS:
That he was alerted and so, he told the accused to take
out the contents of the pocket of his jacket as the latter may
have a weapon inside it;
That the accused obliged and slowly put out the contents
of the pocket of his jacket which was;
• A nickel-like tin or metal container about two (2) to
three (3) inches in size
• Two (2) cellphones
• One (1)pair of scissors and one (1) Swiss knife
That upon seeing the said container, he asked the accused to
open it
92. FACTS:
That after the accused opened the container, he
noticed a cartoon cover and something beneath it;
That upon his instruction, the accused spilled
out the contents of the container on the table which
turned out to be: Four (4)plastic sachets, the two (2)
of which were empty while the other two (2)
contained suspected shabu
93. FACTS
Petitioner was convicted for violation of The
Dangerous Drugs law
Petitioner claims that there was no lawful search
and seizure, because there was no lawful arrest.
He claims that the finding that there was a
lawful arrest was erroneous, since he was not
even issued a citation ticket or charged with
violation of the city ordinance. Even assuming
there was a valid arrest, he claims that he had
never consented to the search conducted upon
him.
94. ISSUE
Whether or not there was no
lawful search and seizure, because
there was no lawful arrest
95. HELD
We find the Petition to be impressed with
merit, but not for the particular reasons alleged. In
criminal cases, an appeal throws the entire case
wide open for review and the reviewing tribunal
can correct errors, though unassigned in the
appealed judgment, or even reverse the trial
court’s decision based on grounds other than those
that the parties raised as errors.
96. HELD
First , there was no valid arrest of
petitioner. When he was flagged down
for committing a traffic violation, he was
not, ipso facto and solely for this reason,
arrested.
Arrest is the taking of a person into custody in
order that he or she may be bound to answer for
the commission of an offense.
Under R.A. 4136, or the Land Transportation
and Traffic Code, the general procedure for dealing
with a traffic violation is not the arrest of the
offender, but the confiscation of the driver’s license
of the latter;
97. HELD
SECTION 29. Confiscation of Driver's License
Law enforcement and peace officers of other
agencies duly deputized by the Director shall: in
apprehending a driver for any violation of this Act or
any regulations issued pursuant thereto, or of local
traffic rules and regulations not contrary to any
provisions of this Act, confiscate the license of the
driver concerned and issue a receipt prescribed and
issued by the Bureau therefore which shall authorize
the driver to operate a motor vehicle for a period not
exceeding seventy-two hours from the time and date
of issue of said receipt.
98. HELD
SECTION 29. Confiscation of Driver's License
The period so fixed in the receipt shall not be
extended, and shall become invalid thereafter.
Failure of the driver to settle his case within fifteen
days from the date of apprehension will be a ground
for the suspension and/or revocation of his license.
99. HELD
Similarly, the Philippine National Police (PNP)
Operations Manual provides the following procedure
for flagging down vehicles during the conduct of
checkpoints:
SECTION 7. Procedure in Flagging Down or Accosting Vehicles
While in Mobile Car.
This rule is a general concept and will not apply in
hot pursuit operations. The mobile car crew shall
undertake the following, when applicable
If it concerns traffic violations, immediately issue a
Traffic Citation Ticket (TCT) or Traffic Violation
Report (TVR). Never indulge in prolonged,
unnecessary conversation or argument with the driver
or any of the vehicle’s occupants;
100. HELD
At the time that he was waiting for PO3 Alteza to
write his citation ticket, petitioner could not be said
to have been “under arrest.”
There was no intention on the part of PO3 Alteza
to arrest him, deprive him of his liberty, or take him
into custody. Prior to the issuance of the ticket, the
period during which petitioner was at the police
station may be characterized merely as waiting time.
In fact, as found by the trial court, PO3 Alteza
himself testified that the only reason they went to
the police sub-station was that petitioner had been
flagged down “almost in front” of that place.
Hence, it was only for the sake of convenience that
they were waiting there. There was no intention to
take petitioner into custody.
101. HELD
In Berkemer v. McCarty,[13] the United States (U.S.)
Supreme Court discussed at length whether the roadside
questioning of a motorist detained pursuant to a routine
traffic stop should be considered custodial interrogation.
The Court held that, such questioning does not fall under
custodial interrogation, nor can it be considered a formal
arrest, by virtue of the nature of the questioning, the
expectations of the motorist and the officer, and the length
of time the procedure is conducted. It ruled as follows:
It must be acknowledged at the outset that a traffic stop
significantly curtails the “freedom of action” of the driver
and the passengers, if any, of the detained vehicle. Under
the law of most States, it is a crime either to ignore a
policeman’s signal to stop one’s car or, once having
stopped, to drive away without permission. x x x

However, we decline to accord talismanic power
to the phrase in the Miranda opinion emphasized
by respondent.
Fidelity to the doctrine announced in Miranda
requires that it be enforced strictly, but only in
those types of situations in which the concerns
that powered the decision are implicated. Thus,
we must decide whether a traffic stop exerts
upon a detained person pressures that
sufficiently impair his free exercise of his
privilege against self-incrimination to require that
he be warned of his constitutional rights.
103. HELD
The U.S. Court in Berkemer thus ruled
that, since the motorist therein was only
subjected to modest questions while still at
the scene of the traffic stop, he was not at
that moment placed under custody (such that
he should have been apprised of his Miranda
rights), and neither can treatment of this sort
be fairly characterized as the functional
equivalent of a formal arrest. Similarly,
neither can petitioner here be considered
“under arrest” at the time that his traffic
citation was being made.
104. HELD
• It also appears that, according to City Ordinance No. 98-012,
which was violated by petitioner, the failure to wear a crash
helmet while riding a motorcycle is penalized by a fine only.
Under the Rules of Court, a warrant of arrest need not be issued
if the information or charge was filed for an offense penalized by
a fine only. It may be stated as a corollary that neither can a
warrantless arrest be made for such an offense.
• This ruling does not imply that there can be no arrest for a traffic
violation. Certainly, when there is an intent on the part of the
police officer to deprive the motorist of liberty, or to take the latter
into custody, the former may be deemed to have arrested the
motorist. In this case, however, the officer’s issuance (or intent to
issue) a traffic citation ticket negates the possibility of an arrest
for the same violation.
105. HELD
• Even if one were to work under the assumption that petitioner
was deemed “arrested” upon being flagged down for a traffic
violation and while awaiting the issuance of his ticket, then the
requirements for a valid arrest were not complied with.
• This Court has held that at the time a person is arrested, it shall
be the duty of the arresting officer to inform the latter of the
reason for the arrest and must show that person the warrant of
arrest, if any. Persons shall be informed of their constitutional
rights to remain silent and to counsel, and that any statement
they might make could be used against them. It may also be
noted that in this case, these constitutional requirements were
complied with by the police officers only after petitioner had
been arrested for illegal possession of dangerous drugs.
106. HELD
If it were true that petitioner was already
deemed “arrested” when he was flagged
down for a traffic violation and while he
waiting for his ticket, then there would have
been no need for him to be arrested for a
second time—after the police officers allegedly
discovered the drugs—as he was already in
their custody.
107. HELD
The foregoing considered, petitioner must be
acquitted. While he may have failed to object to the
illegality of his arrest at the earliest opportunity, a
waiver of an illegal warrantless arrest does not,
however, mean a waiver of the inadmissibility of
evidence seized during the illegal warrantless arrest.
