a. Search made incidental to a valid arrest

Person lawfully arrested may be searched for
dangerous weapons or anything which may be
used or constitute proof in the commission of an
offense w/o a search warrant. The warrantless
search and seizure as an incident to a lawful
arrest may extend beyond the person of the
one arrested to include the premises or
surroundings under his immediate control.
 b. Search of moving vehicles
If the police officers who will conduct the
search had reasonable or probable cause to
believe, before the search, that either the
motorist is a law offender or they will find the
instrumentality or evidence pertaining to a
crime in the vehicle to be searched, the
vehicle may be stopped and subjected to an
extensive search.
c. Seizure of evidence in plain view
Any object in the plain view is subject to
seizure and may be introduced as evidence.
Requirements under the Plain View Doctrine
are:
1) The police officer must have prior
justification for an intrusion or, otherwise, must
be in a position from which he can view a
particular area;
 2) The discovery of the evidence in plain
view is unintentional;
3) It is immediately apparent to the police
officer that the item he observes may be
evidence of a crime, contraband, or is a valid
subject of seizure.
d. When there is waiver of the right or there is
consented search
To constitute a waiver of this constitutional
right, it must appear, first, that the right exists;
second, that the person involved had
knowledge, either actual or constructive, of
the existence of such right; that said person
had an actual intention to relinquish the right.
e. Searches Under Stop and Frisk Rule
The police officer has the right to stop a
citizen on the street, interrogate him, and pat
him for weapons whenever he observes
unusual conduct which convinces him that a
criminal activity exists.
f. Emergency and Exigent Circumstances
A search warrant could be validly dispensed
with in cases of exigent and emergency
situation, and the police officers have
reasonable ground to believe that a crime was
being committed, and they have no
opportunity to apply for a search warrant from
the courts because the latter were closed.
g. Tipped Information
If the police officers have reasonable
grounds to believe that the subjects are
engaged in illegal activities, the tipped
information is sufficient to provide probable
cause to effect a warrantless search and
seizure.
17. Anti-Illegal Logging
The National Anti-Illegal Logging Task Force
(NAILTF) will start confiscating anew all logs
and lumber harvested from the country’s
natural and residual forests as part of the
