T
he Jakarta Police have introduced a new electronic traffic ticket system aimed at ceasing manual ticketing and minimizing the risk of police corruption at traffic checkpoints.
The system, dubbed Cakra Presisi, aims to fully digitize the Jakarta Police's existing electronic traffic law enforcement (ETLE) system and to streamline the e-ticketing process.
Since 2018, the Jakarta Police have gradually installed around 600 high-definition CCTV cameras in various locations across the city to detect traffic violations under its ETLE system.
The cameras feature automatic number plate recognition abilities, artificial intelligence and speed radar. They can capture a vehicle cabin in detail, including the driver’s face and whether they are using a smartphone while driving, wearing a seatbelt or speeding.
The police will analyze the captured footage before referring to a database of vehicle owners.
A ticket will be sent to the address stated on the alleged violator’s vehicle registration document (STNK), along with a photo of the offense as evidence.
Alleged violators must respond to the police or on the ETLE website within seven days. A final ticket will be sent with the amount of the fine, which must be settled within seven days or the police will block the owner’s STNK.
