CCTV cameras are located on the road. This camera will monitor various types of traffic violations. This camera capture becomes evidence that is sent to the officer for further identification using Electronic Registration and Identification (ERI).

Then the officer will send a letter of notification of violations caught by CCTV cameras to vehicle owners who violate traffic by mail. In the last step, the vehicle owner must confirm the violation via the website, the owner can also visit the Sub Directorate of Law Enforcement.

If you can't confirm, the owner's STNK will be temporarily blocked. Owners of vehicles subject to electronic ticketing are also required to pay fines through the bank or may attend court proceedings.
