Recently in Las Piñas City, police officers apprehended a man for the usurpation of authority and the possession of a firearm, according to a news report by The Daily Tribune. The police officers were conducting an operation when the suspect introduced himself to them as a Philippine Army member.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from The Daily Tribune news report. Some parts in boldface…
A 34-year-old man was apprehended for usurpation of authority and violation of Section 7 of Republic Act No. 10591 during an Oplan Bakal operation in Las Piñas City early Monday morning, 24 August.
At about 1:20 a.m., personnel of the CAA Sub-Station conducted the operation at a resto bar along J. Aguilar Avenue, Barangay Pulang Lupa Dos.
The suspect, identified as alias Noe, allegedly introduced himself as a member of the Philippine Army and disclosed that he was carrying a firearm inside his belt bag.
During verification, he failed to present a valid Philippine Army identification card but produced a License to Own and Possess Firearms, Firearm Registration and Permit to Carry Firearms Outside Residence.
Police confiscated a .45-caliber Thunder Bolt pistol bearing serial No. TB09190789, five magazines, 49 rounds of live ammunition and a black belt bag.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: If you are a resident of Las Piñas City, are you thankful to the police for apprehending the suspect? Do you feel concerned that there could be more armed people committing the usurpation of authority to get past the police and infiltrate local communities?
