JAKARTA - The Traffic Corps (Korlantas) of the National Police is developing a chip installation and QR code on the motor vehicle number plate.

Head of Korlantas Polri Inspector General Pol Firman Shantyabudi said the installation was to prevent counterfeiting and make it easier for the police to monitor vehicle data through electronic ticketing cameras or ETLE.

"We are developing a number plate with a QR code and chip to find out if the vehicle number plate is genuine or fake," he said in Jakarta, Tuesday, January 4, as reported by Antara.

According to him, the use of QR code and chip technology on this vehicle number plate is to find out the number plate used by a fake or original driver.

He said public awareness of traffic is still low. Since the ETLE was optimized, the public has tricked it to commit violations by avoiding the ETLE camera read number plates by removing the vehicle number plates.

In addition, there are also people who use vehicle number plates that do not comply with the standards (fake) purchased through street street vendors.

For this reason, Korlantas Polri considers combining the application of electronic ticketing and tickets manually.

"Why should we consider, one of which is the public, not the awareness that arises when a police officer makes a ticket, but there is a license plate removed behind, replaced, and even some deliberately violated it," said Firman.

Regarding this, he said, traffic police officers (polantas) do not mean to be silent, any violations that have the potential for traffic accidents are given warning measures.

Firman said that he had given directions to his staff that traffic police on the road did not have to ticket, but also gave warnings, with the intention that the public would raise an orderly awareness of traffic, comply with regulations.

According to him, if there is no awareness, law enforcement with the presence of the police will be reappeared. The National Police Traffic Corps also complements ETLE in the field, one of which is the use of QR code and chip technology on vehicle number plates.

"If people are not aware, we don't need expensive spending like this. The effectiveness of law enforcement can happen if the police, society, and law enforcement can run well," said Firman.

In addition, Firman also appealed to the public not to buy fake number plates that are sold on the market. The National Police immediately improves the quality of the license plate of motorized vehicles, so that in the future there will be no omission against the use of number plates that do not meet standards.

Firman emphasized that law enforcement is the last step. His party encourages public awareness to be traffic orderly.
