New ATM modus

To those who read my blogs, you must be able to remember my post about Martin Nievera violating a Philippine Law when he sang our national anthem in Pacquiao's fight with Hatton not in accordance to the law.

I suggested there that there are certain laws that when violated, the offender should initially be given a warning instead of being punished right away because some people don't really know such laws exist and even if the statement, "Ignorance of the law excuses no one" exist, it still doesn't mean that everyone knows all the law - I doubt if most lawyers even know all the laws. This of course would happen if these laws are amended which states something like offenders of such law if violated would initially be given a warning for the benefit of the doubt that this person doesn't know such law exist. And as I've said, in The Concert King's case, my suggestion is a fair suggestion because he "may" not really know that it's illegal and because he really didn't physically hurt anyone for doing so as his offense is not really that grave.

But with case of stealing money, just like what Ryan Aniceto did according to a news report in Inquirer.net, the above suggestion is not applicable. So it's a case to case basis. The above suggestion should depend on the level of offense ranging from minor to major. And stealing, just like murder, is a major offense as that is already a big inconvenience to the victim even if the reason for doing so is life-and-death.

Let it be known to the public this relatively new modus done by Mr. Aniceto in stealing money by slipping a plastic in ATM cash dispensers and when a person withdrawing cash can't get his cash from a vague attempt at the ATM machine, the person will be forced to leave and that's the cue for people like Ryan to attack. Be mindful of your surroundings in ATM booths and check the machine first before beginning a transaction.
