Lawyer Wants Police to Turn in
An activist attorney wants a judge to compel San Jose police to follow state law and turn suspects who might be in the U.S. illegally over to immigration authorities.

The claim, filed last week on behalf of San Jose residents Barbara Allen and Carol Joyal, demands that San Jose police contact federal authorities when suspects believed to be undocumented immigrants are arrested in connection with drug-related offenses.

``We're rearresting illegal aliens several times, and that takes a lot of police time, judicial time, jail space, and taxpayer money,'' said Allen, who, i... Read more

Police assure of no cover-up i

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- Police Provincial Director Leonardo Espina said Monday there is no whitewash in the investigation of the missing narra flitches.

Espina said the Provincial Police Office (PPO) is conducting an "intensive," "procedural," and "impartial" investigation on the missing 747 pieces of narra flitches with a volume of 12,700 board feet.

"It would be premature to comment at this point in time but I assure you that everything will be done by the book and that everything will be looked into," he said.

He also stressed that police officers behind the missing narra flitches would be dealt with accordingly.

Earlier, the owner of the alleged "illegally confiscated" narra flitches in Guagua town filed administrative charges against a retired police colonel and four police officers for infidelity in the custody of evidence, serious irregularity in the performance of duty and grave misconduct.

In his complaint, Cris David, owner of the narra flitches, identified the police officers as Chief Inspector Rodney Louie Raymund Baloyo IV, Senior Inspector Maharlika Oscar Villasis, Senior Police Officer 3 Rodrigo Purisima and SPO2 Eden Samson Gopez, and retired police colonel George Ernest Pinpin.

Aside from the recommendation of Senior Inspector Virginia Miguel that was noted by Superintendent Petronio Retirado, deputy director for operation of the Pampanga police, it was also suggested that a separate charge of negligence be filed against Pinpin; grave dishonesty be charged against Balayo IV; and grave misconduct or conduct unbecoming of a police officer be instituted against Villasis and Gopez.

The complaints stemmed from the order of Assistant Provincial Prosecutor Otto Macabulos directing Espina to release to the possession of David the 975 pieces of narra flitches "illegally" seized by combined operatives of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the police from David's residence in Guagua and that were placed in custody of the PPO.
