PEOPLE V. MARTI G.R. No. 81561 JAN.

18,
1991
FACTS:

There was a package searched by the security officer, and when he searched under the chocolates, they
found out that there was marijuana underneath. They said they could not search the package because
there was no search warrant.

ISSUE:

Could they use the provisions of the Bill of Rights on Search Warrants?

HELD:

The Supreme Court said NO. It was not a police officer who conducted the search but it was done by a
private individual.
