Commissioner of the National Police Commission (Kompolnas) Choirul Anam assessed that there was a bad impact in the revision of the Criminal Procedure Code (RKUHAP), one of which was the speed of evidence that was not balanced with the protection of rights against the perpetrators.
The context of acceleration contained in the draft RKUHP is regarding the process of direct case titles. This step is considered quite good because in law enforcement it intersects with one's independence and freedom.
"The title of the case is, if yesterday it was in the investigation process, it went into investigation, a case was held, it turned out to be a criminal incident and so on, then SPDP went to the prosecution. Now it's being cut," Anam said in a discussion entitled 'Revision of the Criminal Procedure Code and Threat: New Abuse of Power Room?' held by Iwakum in Jakarta, Friday, May 2.
In the RKUHP, the process of conducting cases is faster because it involves prosecutors and supervisors so that the clarity of a person's status in an alleged criminal act can be immediately determined in the trial stage.
However, said Anam, behind this, the RKUHP also contains efforts to prove that it is considered to have claimed the right of suspects, such as the use of technology and the addition of excessive detention periods.
"The logic should speed up the process. Now this is not a RKUHAP, people are detained if yesterday 20 is not enough, plus 20. Now 20 adds 40 (so) 60 days the status is not clear," he said.

"On the other hand, there is a request for wiretapping authority, asking for evidence of electronic objects. But on the other hand, the basic character of the speed of evidence does not balance with the protection of the suspect's rights and so on," continued Anam.
The extension of the detention period is said to be in the entire legal process, from investigation to trial. Anam said, with the request for expansion of authority at the investigation stage, it should not take long.
Moreover, the basis for expanding the power of evidence contained in the RKUHAP is the effectiveness of the investigation time or evidence.
"There is a logic that in my opinion, in the context of the times, it is not in line with the character of how the suspect is protected and so on. So one of them is speed," said Anam.
