Q

is the mechanism which the society uses in the prevention and control of crime. It consists of the system of courts, including the barangay justice system, the informal justice system implemented through practice particularly by indigenous communities, and the quasi-judicial bodies empowered by law to perform adjudicatory functions; the systems for law enforcement and prosecution which involve investigating, apprehending and prosecuting those who could not be deterred from violating the law and the rules of the society; the system of corrections and rehabilitation or the means of rehabilitating offenders and returning them to the community as law-abiding citizens; and the community which collectively imposes limitations on individual behavior of citizens for the common good of civilized and democratic society that deters criminality and criminal behavior.

Q

Valid Warrantless Search

A
  1. Warrantless search incidental to a lawful arrest recognized under Section 12 [now Section 13], Rule 126g of the Rules of Court and by prevailing jurisprudence;
  2. Seizure of evidence in “plain view,” the elements of which are:
    (a) a prior valid intrusion based on the valid warrantless arrest in which the police are legally present in the pursuit of their official duties;
    (b) the evidence was inadvertently discovered by the police who had the right to be where they are;
    (c) the evidence must be immediately apparent[;] and;
    (d) “plain view” justified mere seizure of evidence without further search.
  3. Search of a moving vehicle. Highly regulated by the government, the vehicle’s inherent mobility reduces expectation of privacy especially when its transit in public thoroughfares furnishes a highly reasonable suspicion amounting to probable cause that the occupant committed a criminal activity;
  4. Consented warrantless search;
  5. Customs search;
  6. Stop and Frisk; and
  7. Exigent and Emergency Circumstances.

PERFORMANCE OF THE PILLARS IN PROVIDING JUSTICE REMEDIES
•The determination of the overall performance of the criminal justice system in providing justice remedies is ultimately established by the performance statistics of our courts, where the various processes by the other pillars in seeking remedies unfold and converge. The pace and quality of the litigation process is influenced by several factors that are outside of the judicial institutions – the ability to produce the right witness and present evidence and to arrest the suspect by the law enforcement agencies; the quality and pace of case preparation and preliminary investigation and leads to the establishment of a probable cause by the prosecution; the competence of prosecutors and defenders; the availability, quality and cooperation of witnesses; and other relevant factors. The performance of the * therefore would serve to synthesize to a large extent the overall performance of the criminal justice system.
