LESSON 1. DRUG TRAFFICKING: THE ILLICIT DRUG TRADE

ITS YOUR TURN:

1. In your own understanding kindly define what is drug trafficking and give an example or a scenario.

Based on my understanding, Drug Trafficking is the illegal drug trade or a global illicit trade that
involves distribution, transporting and selling of substance which is subject to drugs prohibition laws.
This is the heroin, cocaine, marijuana, or other illegal drugs. For example, one of your neighbors has a
secret farm planted of marijuana. He uses this as a business through selling to the drug user he knows and
he also transports it to another place or sells this to the public.

2. What are the different techniques on how the drug traders avoid boarder check? Please describe how
each done.

The different techniques on how the drug traders avoid boarder check are:

1.Avoiding boarder check, such as small ships, small aircraft, and through smuggling routes.

To avoid the boarder check, drug traders use small ships, small aircraft and through smuggling
routes or their routes are different to the other ships and aircrafts crossing.

2. Submitting to boarder checks with the drugs hidden in vehicle, between other merchandise, in
luggage, in or under clothes, inside the body.

The drug traders have a confident to enter on the boarder checkers but they hide the drugs on hidden part
of their vehicles, luggage or in their body to avoid being detected on the boarder checker.

3 Buying of diplomats to smuggle drugs in diplomatic mail/luggage, to avoid boarder check.

From this, they pay a diplomat that is visiting to other countries to carry drugs for them.
By the use of a diplomatic pouch that is a container with certain legal protection that is used for
carrying official correspondence or other items between a diplomatic mission.

3. Describe the traffic routes particularly on how drug traders transport illicit drugs worldwide.

The traffic routes particularly on how drug traders transport illicit drugs worldwide is it
begins from discovery, plantation, cultivation and harvest in Middle East and prepare the
distribution in Turkey and third it will be manufactured, synthesis and refined in Europe and
lastly marketing will be in United States.
 During the transportation they are given medication to inhibit bowel movement and once
it reached the destination, they are given laxatives in order the swallowed prohibited drugs will
slide though their body. Illicit drugs that is hidden inside the body is difficult to be detected
especially those country without sufficient technology that is stationed in the border to detect
illicit objects such as drugs.
They transport drugs through small aircraft or ships on the smuggling routes. To avoid
detection, drug trader recruits a mule in order the illegal drugs will pass through the border check.
Drug mule is made to swallow prohibited drugs covered with multi-layered condoms.

these strategies are being implemented (give atleast 2)
 The government has different strategies in fighting the drug problem which this include
such laws like R.A no. 6425 and R.A. 9165 which this laws are responsible in prohibiting and
implementing such penalties for those violated this laws.
Under R.A. 9165 it is being implemented by being responsible for preventing,
investigating and combating any dangerous drugs, controlled precursors and essential chemicals
within the Philippines. Thus any person who violates this law can be imprisoned and can be fined
depending on how grave the crime a person committed regarding illegal drugs.

regulated drugs, give penalty of imprisonment ranging from four years and one day to eight and
fine ranging from four thousand to eight thousand pesos.

2. In the conduct of anti-drug operations, why is it necessary to strictly follow the guidelines or protocols
during the implementation?

It is necessary to strictly follow the guidelines or protocols during the implementation of anti-
drug operation because if we will strictly follow the procedure or protocols during the implementation we
can arrest our targets with high value. Thus, following strictly the guidelines or protocols during the
implementation of anti-drug’s operation gives efficient and makes our operation success.

3. In trying to fight the drug problem, PDEA was created. What do you think for the reason for its
creation?

For me, I think the reason why PDEA was created in trying to fight drug problem is that to lead
the agency in the enforcement of the anti-drug law, suppresses the supply of dangerous drugs and to
supervise the anti-drug activities of the drug law enforcement agencies. It was also created for the
efficient and effective law enforcement of all the provision on dangerous drug and precursors and or
essential chemicals as provided in R.A 9165. They were the one responsible for preventing, investigating
and combating any dangerous drugs.

 It is needed to be punish such violation because it violates R.A 9165 for the reason that a person
having one or more illegal drugs in one’s possession either for personal use, distribution, sale or
otherwise. Also the person has a possession of drugs if they have actual physical control of the

reason that they prescribed an illegal medicine such as the dangerous drugs as to be used by their
patients or etc.

operation and investigation.
A. Coordination requirement

 From this general rules and procedures that must be observed in the course of illegal drugs
operation and investigation the PNP must coordinate with the Philippine Drug Enforcement
agency to all anti-illegal drug operation as stated in Sec. 86 of RA 9165. In any cases Within 24
hours the PNP anti- illegal drugs must inform the PDEA of anti-illegal drugs operation from the

 FINAL EXAM

I. ESSAY

1. As a criminology student, why is it important to conduct investigation on drug cases?

As a criminology student, it is significant to conduct investigation on drug case For the reason
that, we can use this when we became already a law enforcer someday like we will be knowledgeable
about it and we can use it while investigating drug cases. This can help you to conduct your investigation
easy because you know what you are doing. So it is important to conduct investigation on drug cases for
you to have an advance learning about investigating drug cases specially if your wish is to become an
Investigator someday or a part of PDEA.

2. What is the significance in understanding the users and pushers in drug control and investigation?

The significance of understanding the users and pushers in drug control and investigation is that it
identifies and determine helps the investigator easily perform their duty on investigating drug cases as
they know or understand what does the drug users and drug pusher’s actions. They can also determine
why such drug users and drug pushers dealing with the drugs. Through this, it can help the investigator to
deal with them on how to rehabilitate them and they know how to prevent them for not using it.

3. As a future law enforcer, is it important for you to be acquainted on the valid and legal apprehension of
drug suspects? Yes, or No? Why?

Yes, it is important for us to be acquainted on the valid and legal apprehension of drug suspects
because they are also human beings anyway, so they still deserve to be treated in a humane way. Also,
this is to ensure that the rights of the suspects should not be violated in which in the apprehension of
suspect his/her right must be informed in a manner that the suspect understood. And also help us a future
enforcer through helping us by giving knowledge or an idea in order for the apprehension to be valid and
legal.

4. As a criminology student, do you think the Philippines war on drugs has been effective? Yes, or No?

No, I think war on drugs is not effective in solving drugs cases here in our country as I observe
that when President Rodrigo Duterte lead our country in the year 2016, he imposes this war on drugs it
became an issue. During the beginning of the program, many people died without knowledge whether
those people are truly drug users or a drug pusher. I agree that many leaders were captured the time they
mandated, and raided their hideouts but many lives were lost. So for me, this program is not effective
because this program didn’t change a thing, since many people still use on drugs for living.
