The right to refuse .. (sa 'PINAS to ha..)

Please pass this on to your wife, girlfriends; and ladies, you may want to
forward this to any female relatives who may need to know this important
information.

I was talking with a lawyer friend of mine. We were discussing the law and
women`s rights. She told me about this incident - a young girl was raped by
a man posing as a plain clothes officer; he asked her to come to the police
station when she and her male friend didn't have a driver`s license to
show. He sent the boy off to get his license and asked the girl to
accompany him to the police station. Took her instead to an isolated area
where the horrendous crime was committed.

In fact, the law clearly states that between 6 pm and 6 am, a woman has the
right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station, even if an arrest warrant has
been issued against her. It is a procedural issue that a woman can be
arrested between 6 pm and 6 am ONLY IF she is arrested by a woman officer
and taken to an ALL-WOMEN police station. And if she is arrested by a male
officer, it has to be proven that a woman officer was on duty at the time
of arrest.

It is good for us to know our rights. To what extent it comes of use
remains to be seen in any situation. But as they say, knowledge is power.
Just thought I`d share this with you.

I did not know this and am sure lot of us will not know this - please be
informed.... And pass on this info to everyone you know.......
