00:00We have a question for the law. He will answer it. Here is our lawyer, Atty. Gabby Concepcion.
00:07Atty., good morning.
00:08Good morning, too. Good morning to Ivan.
00:11Oh, Anjo, whatever it is, his message looks okay, right?
00:15In any case, an action movie caught on camera video of a traffic enforcer blocking a car
00:25after a car ran over it.
00:27In the video, you can see the traffic enforcer.
00:31The car is in the hood of a red car, running away.
00:35Unfortunately, the car was able to escape.
00:39But yesterday, the driver of the car confronted the authorities
00:43and said that he just panicked, that's why he ran over it.
00:47What does the law say about this?
00:50Well, ask me, ask Atty. Gabby.
00:59Atty., this is a different level of escape.
01:03If Ivan is fighting the enforcer, he really doesn't want to be caught.
01:08Is the escape itself related to a case?
01:12No, this is not just an escape.
01:15This is a serious disobedience and resistance to a person in authority.
01:20It's a bit stressful, isn't it?
01:22It's like the life of a traffic enforcer is still in danger.
01:25And he might fall and get hurt.
01:28This case is really different because usually,
01:31our problem is that the person in authority is being hurt or beaten,
01:36like a police or traffic enforcer.
01:39Of course, these kinds of cases are more dangerous
01:42where a person in authority is being beaten,
01:46and this case is called a direct assault
01:49under Article 148 of the Revised Penal Code.
01:52According to the Supreme Court, in some cases,
01:55if the beating is not that serious,
01:58it's just a possible case of resistance and serious disobedience
02:02to a person in authority
02:05under Article 151 of the Revised Penal Code.
02:09So, the penalty of serious disobedience is a bit different
02:13from the more serious direct assault.
02:15If it's called serious disobedience,
02:18you'll be jailed for up to 6 months.
02:20But if it's called direct assault,
02:22you'll be jailed for up to 2 years and 4 months.
02:25But you know, if you ask me,
02:27because of the big threat to the life of a poor traffic enforcer
02:31and because of his extreme disobedience to the authority of the enforcers
02:35who stopped him even though the traffic enforcer did not raise his hand,
02:40I think that a more serious case of direct assault
02:44should be awarded for a case like this.
02:47And it should be looked into
02:49if it should be given the right to drive a car
02:52by drivers like him.
02:54Isn't it reckless?
02:56But drivers like him should not pass on the road.
02:59It's a threat to the lives of other people who are quiet
03:04and to the people who are just doing their jobs.
03:09The question is,
03:10Attorney, if someone gets hit by a car or a pedestrian and gets injured,
03:14what can be the case?
03:16Well, of course,
03:17such a serious disobedience of a person who does not think,
03:21the condition of the person is a crime.
03:24It's not an excuse to say,
03:26I didn't do it on purpose,
03:28or I just panicked,
03:30that's why I did it.
03:31That's why they should be able to escape from the responsibility of others.
03:36Well, according to the law,
03:37even if such an act of disobedience is not intended,
03:40such an act of disobedience is already a criminal in nature.
03:44That's why there is a crime of reckless imprudence resulting in injuries
03:48or damage to property under Article 365 of the Revised Penal Code.
03:54That's why those road rage or those who say,
03:57I just panicked,
03:59that's difficult in our daily lives
04:02because you are in pain or there is a big threat of being in pain to other people.
04:07So that's not acceptable to me.
04:09In any case,
04:10we will clarify the laws for the peace of mind.
04:15Don't think twice.
04:17Ask me.
04:18Ask Attorney Gav.
