MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Malaca\u00f1ang on Monday said the three lawyers arrested by Makati police should take a refresher course on criminal procedure particularly on rules against obstruction of a police investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, there are videos available in the internet on what happened. If you ask me as a law professor, those three lawyers need a refresher course on criminal procedure,\u201d Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a Palace press briefing.<\/p>\n

Last week, Makati policemen arrested three lawyers identified as Lenie Rocel Rocha, Jan Vincent Soliven, and Romulo Bernard Alarkon for allegedly intimidating them from conducting a search at the Time in Manila bar in Makati City that resulted in the seizure of several sachets of illegal drugs.<\/p>\n

The policemen filed complaints against the three lawyers for obstruction of justice, resistance and disobedience to authorities and violation of a city ordinance.<\/p>\n

Later, a “constructive possession” of illegal drugs complaint has also been filed against the three lawyers who claimed to be lawyers of the bar owners.<\/p>\n

The Commission on Human Rights and several lawmakers and lawyers\u2019 groups criticized the arrest and detention of the three lawyers.<\/p>\n

Roque defended the Makati policemen, saying he also got information that the lawyers were preventing the policemen from going to an upper floor of the bar.<\/p>\n

\u201cLawyers have absolutely no involvement in an ongoing investigation,\u201d Roque, a law professor, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir role is when there is already a pending action in the prosecutor’s office, if there is anything that was wrong in the police investigation, then they can alleged this either in the determination of probable cause or in the trial itself,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Roque said it was the second time the police had conducted operation in the same Makati bar.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake note in the first operation, it yielded positive for drugs and it was closed by the Makati City government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said lawyers have no immunity for obstruction of justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have to answer for their acts, in addition to possible administrative remedies, for possible violation also of the canon of professional responsibility,\u201d Roque said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
