Practice question
A mechanic buys a used starter from its lawful owner, with no carnapped vehicle involved. The prosecution invokes only Section 2’s definition of secondhand spare parts to assert that every used part necessarily comes from carnapping. Which is sound?
- Every used spare part is conclusively stolen.
- The defined term refers to parts taken from carnapped vehicles; lawful prior use alone does not establish that provenance.
- The definition eliminates the need to establish a carnapped source.
- All lawful repair work is carnapping.
- Every sale of a used starter establishes violence against a driver.
Legal references
- RA 10883, Sections 2-4, particularly technical definitions in Section 2: https://lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra2016/ra_10883_2016.html
