National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo banned manual traffic violation ticketing (tilang) starting at the end of October 2022.
Instead, the police will optimize Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (ETLE) or the electronic ticketing system.
Electronic ticketing is carried out using cameras with artificial intelligence that can record various types of traffic violations, ranging from motorcyclists not wearing helmets to monitoring license plate numbers in odd-even areas.
"Following the Chief of Police's directive, ticketing cannot be manual. We have withdrawn all tickets from all officers in Jakarta," said the Director of Traffic of the Metro Jaya Regional Police, Senior Commissioner Latif Usman, as reported by the official Korlantas Polri website on Tuesday (25/10/2022).
"(Police officers) will still be on the roads, mainly for security, escort, and traffic control, but they will not issue manual tickets. Ticketing will entirely use static ETLE and mobile ETLE already available in Metro Jaya Police," he continued.
According to data from the National Criminal Information Center (Pusiknas) of the Indonesian National Police, throughout 2021, the most traffic violations occurred in the jurisdiction of the Metro Jaya Regional Police, namely DKI Jakarta Province.
