1) Probable cause u turn – it was ruled that the arrest was legal even without arrest warrant.

What
kind of warrantless arrest was made and Can you explain why sudden u turn in a checkpoint is
considered to be a probable cause(Many reasons can justify such act ex. Muuli kay nay
lamintan)
Ans: a. Hot pursuit ata haha di ko sure. b. There was a tip about the illegal transit of drugs with
the description of the motor vehicle and upon u turn nahulog sya dayun nidagan
As correctly ruled by both the lower courts, the police officers had probable cause to justify the
belief that appellant was an offender of the law and that the contents of the backpack and sack
he was carrying were instruments of an offense not only in light of the confidential tip they
received from an informant but also because of appellant's peculiar acts of making a sudden u-
turn before reaching the checkpoint and attempting to run when the motorcycle he was driving
crashed.
2) It was stated that the appellant cannot anymore question the validity of its arrest for the latter
was arrested already and entered his plea. That, it was too late. Can the plea of the accused be
withdrawn? Or generally speaking can a plea be withdrawn?

3) Considering that the accused in the case at bar pleaded guilty, does it necessarily follow that the
accused is convicted?
