F: The case at bar is a question on the validity of the search warrant and arrest of the petitioner charged for the crime of rebellion. The CA decision holds the search warrant as null and void but the articles seized shall be retained. Petitioners contend that a lawful search would only be justified by a lawful arrest therefore with the court ruling that the arrest was illegal the articles seized should also be returned to them. Respondents assert that although the search warrant was null and void the arrest was not.
I: WON the personalities that were seized by an illegal search warrant should be returned.
R: Yes, it should be returned. The court used the dissenting opinion of Justice Teehankee invoking the Constitutional provision from the Bill of Rights that mandates the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures. Any evidence obtained in violation of this Constitutional mandate shall be inadmissible for any purpose or proceedings.
