A private lawyer has filed a case with the Quezon City People’s Law Enforcement Board (PLEB) against a gun-toting former
policeman and two others who figured in a viral video that happened new the Quezon City Rotonda last August 8.
Fortun lodged the complaints of oppression, irregularities in the performance of duties, and incompetence under a National Police Commission circular. “Despite the clear and imbalanced status of the parties, the same police officers failed to protect the rights of the cyclist when they failed to provide a legal counsel for him so that the latter would be duly appraised of his rights. Further, they failed to secure the CCTV footages in the area in order to ferret out the real facts in the conflicting statements made by the parties.
“This incident also highlights the need to institutionalize the presence of PLEB in other cities and municipalities to hear and decide the complaints filed against erring policemen. I am confident that the case filed in the PLEB will be handled without fear or favor,” Belmonte added.
