National Police Chief Listyo's Electronic Ticket Is Not Just Traffic Action

JAKARTA - National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has inaugurated the application of a national Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (e-TLE). In fact, the benefits of e-TLE are not only a matter of traffic enforcement.

Electronic tickets that use CCTV cameras can also help solve criminal cases. For example, the hit and run case in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta.

The perpetrator is known to have the initials MRK (21). He is a black Mercy car driver who crashed into a seven-year-old boy while jogging on Jalan Kelapa Cengkir, Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta, Sunday, March 21.

"The initials of the suspect are MRK (21), male, a student who we have now named as a suspect", said Head of Public Relations of Jakarta Metro Police Kombes Yusri Yunus to reporters, Wednesday, March 24.

Yusri said this student was successfully arrested on Monday, March 22, evening. This arrest was also based on the results of tracing CCTV footage and e-TLE cameras.

It's just that, the motive for that incident is not yet clear. This is because the Gakkum Sub-Directorate of Traffic, Jakarta Metro Police are still investigating the suspect's testimony.

"We are still conducting investigations including all of their motives. Now we are detaining the suspect", said Yusri.

The identity of the perpetrator has been revealed thanks to the CCTV and e-TLE cameras installed around the scene. This is because the camera records the license plate number of the vehicle.

Director of Jakarta Metro Police Traffic Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo said the recording was the starting point for the disclosure.

"After analyzing the CCTV, including analyzing by Forensic Laboratory Center to make it clear, it is known that the vehicle involved in the number plate B 2388 RFQ", said Sambodo.

Sambodo said, obtaining data on the car used by the suspect was not an easy matter. Because not many witnesses saw it. The majority of witnesses only said that the car that hit the victim was black.

"Why was it difficult to say before? Because of the 5 witnesses who were questioned, none of them saw and stated with certainty how many police numbers the vehicle hit, only most said they saw a black mercy sedan", said Sambodo.

So, investigators from the Gakkum Sub-Directorate for the National Police decided to trace the CCTV and e-TLE cameras. Although at first, it seemed futile because the vehicle's police number was not clearly recorded. Until finally, investigators found that the vehicle's police number was B 2388. So, it was confiscated by the existing database.

Based on available data, the police came to the address listed. The results of the analysis were proven. Because at that house parked a black Mercy car which was in a state of disrepair.

"After we visited the crime scene (the perpetrator's house) we found Mercy with broken glass and no mirrors. It means that it is certain that the vehicle involved in the hit and run was involved", said Sambodo.

At a glance about e-TLE, currently, around 244 electronic ticketing cameras are installed in 12 regional police in major cities of Indonesia.
