What is Supreme Court Ruling on Stop-and-Frisk about?
The Supreme Court affirmed the conviction of Alain Manalili y Dizon for illegal possession of marijuana but modified the penalty imposed. The Court held that the search conducted by police officers was valid as a stop-and-frisk, an exception to the requirement for a warrant. While credibility of witnesses is given weight, the defense of frame-up is viewed with disfavor. The penalty was modified to an indeterminate sentence of 6 years and 1 day to 12 years in line with applicable laws.
