Here’s a summary of the Kompas.com article:
Key Point: A provision in the revised Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) Bill that designated the National Police as the principal investigator has been deleted.
Details:
* Reasoning: The deletion aims to harmonize the KUHAP bill with existing laws – specifically, the National Police Law - which already regulates the role of the police as investigators. The argument is that repeating this regulation in the KUHAP would be redundant. The same approach was taken with the Prosecutor’s Office, as their role is already defined in the Prosecutor’s Law.
* Public Input: Most of the 40 points of public input regarding the bill were accommodated.
* Approval: the deletion was approved during a meeting after confirmation that the latest draft aligned with the approach taken for the Prosecutor’s Office.
* Other Revisions: The article also mentions other revisions to the KUHAP Bill, including regulations regarding confiscation (not requiring court permission in urgent situations) and mandatory surveillance camera recording of suspect interrogations, and provisions for people with mental disabilities.
