Barrio Captain Liability in Arbitrary Detention by carrolei ragual is a document available to read on EtoBox.
In the case of Milo vs. Salanga, Barrio Captain Tuvera and others were charged with Arbitrary Detention for unlawfully detaining petitioner Valdez. The court ruled that Tuvera, despite not being a police officer, could still be held liable for the crime as public officers, including barrio captains, have the authority to detain individuals. The ruling emphasized that the responsibility to maintain peace and order grants them similar powers to those of other public officials like mayors.
