PENERAPAN ELECTRONIC TRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT (ETLE) DALAM PENINDAKAN PELANGGARAN LALU LINTAS (STUDI DI WILAYAH HUKUM POLDA DIY)

Abstract

To keep up with technological developments, the Police issued a new system in enforcing traffic rules called ETLE (Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement). ETLE is a traffic law enforcement system based on information technology using electronic devices in the form of cameras that can detect various types of traffic violations and present motor vehicle data automatically (automatic number plate recognition). ETLE camera footage can be used as evidence in traffic violation cases. The use of ETLE is also a form of Polri's contribution in realizing D.I Yogyakarta as a smart city and in line with bureaucratic reform. Another benefit is increasing the culture of public order in traffic, which is the deterrence effect of the ETLE system. This study uses the type of Empirical Legal Research is a legal research method that uses empirical facts taken from human behavior, both verbal behavior obtained from interviews and real behavior through direct observation. Ditlantas Polda DIY acts as an innovator in the development of a law enforcement system against traffic violations with an information technology approach. ETLE can be said to be one of the methods of taking action against violations that has a positive impact on reducing the number of traffic violations. From an internal police perspective, the effectiveness of using ETLE is that there is no friction and complaints from the public to traffic police officers. The obstacle faced in implementing ETLE is that people object because they feel they do not violate traffic rules and the vehicle is being borrowed by another party.This is because socialization related to legislation, regulations, and legal principles has not been conveyed massively in the community. Another obstacle in terms of facilities and infrastructure is that ETLE devices can only record four types of violations on 4-wheeled vehicles, namely violations of using safety belts, using cellphones while driving, violating markings and violating traffic lights
