The Effectiveness of the Implementation of the Electronic Ticket System on Public Legal Awareness in Traffic

Article 272 of Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic states that to support activities to enforce violations in the field of Traffic and Road Transportation, electronic equipment can be used.  This research is a legal research with descriptive analytical specifications. The implementation of the electronic ticketing system by the West Sumatra Police Traffic Directorate has been carried out using electronic technology in supervising and enforcing traffic issued by the police using CCTV aids. Electronic ticketing has been implemented around 2021 in the jurisdiction of the West Sumatra Police. During the implementation of E Tilang in the West Sumatra Police Jurisdiction, traffic units have experienced disturbances. The obstacle in the implementation of the electronic ticketing system by the West Sumatra Police Traffic Directorate is the lack of integration of data owned by each LLAJ supervisor and Regional Government in the Traffic and Road Transportation Information and Communication System, making it difficult for the National Police. The violation recorded by the camera sensor is the license plate which is then read by the Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) software which then physically matches the vehicle with data from the registration and identification database of the motor vehicle. The effectiveness of the implementation of the electronic ticketing system on the legal awareness of the public in traffic in the jurisdiction of the West Sumatra Police Traffic Directorate is not yet effective because there are still many mistakes that occur in detecting vehicles that violate traffic through the electronic camera and there are still many traffic violations. ETLEs have not been able to effectively detect violations, they are more likely to obey traffic rules if there are traffic officers standing on the road. Awareness of the possibility of serious legal consequences will help suppress offending behavior.
