LONGER SURVEILLAN

DETECTION OF
SUSPECTS
Surveillance can be viewed as a violation of
privacy, and as such is often opposed by civil
liberties activists. A liberal democracy may have
laws which restrict domestic government and
private use of surveillance. Authoritarian
governments seldom have any domestic
restrictions, and international espionage is
common among all types of countries.
 Security officials want longer detention,
surveillance periods for suspected terrorist.

Top security officials on Monday said the detention

and surveillance period of suspected terrorists should
be extended to help strengthen the country’s anti-
terrorism law.
During a Senate hearing on proposed amendments to
the Human Security Act of 2007, Gen.Carlito Galvez,
Armed Forces of the Philippines chief of staff,
lamented that the 11-year-old measure “does not
really help security elements do their job.”
 Enhanced surveillance, longer detention of
suspects in Senate anti-terror bill
Saying terrorism seems to have no end in sight,
Senator Panfilo Lacson pushed for the amendment
of the country’s anti-terrorism law, which this time,
would redefine the act, use technology to conduct
surveillance operations and remove the penalty
imposed on the state for wrongful detention of
suspects.
Longer warrantless detention for terror
suspects sought
Several senators on Monday pushed for the
extension of the period allowed by law to detain
suspected terrorists without warrants to 30 days
from the current 3 days.
Senator Panfilo Lacson, chair of the committee on
public order and dangerous drugs, said surveillance
activities for suspects slapped with terrorism
charges should be extended to 90 days.
A longer period of surveillance we will be
able to build up international

efficient.this group do not talk to each other
