Penegakan Hukum Terhadp Balap Liar di Wilayah Hukum Polresta Pulau Ambon Dan Pulau-Pulau Lease
Abstract
This research examines law enforcement against illegal racing in the jurisdiction of the Ambon Island and Lease Islands Police Department. Illegal racing is a traffic violation that not only endangers the perpetrators but also other road users, and causes public unrest. This phenomenon has significant negative impacts in the form of increased traffic accidents, potential criminal activity, and disruptions to public safety and comfort. This research aims to analyze the forms of law enforcement implemented by law enforcement officials to combat illegal racing, identify factors influencing the level of violations, and examine obstacles encountered in the law enforcement process. As a nation governed by the rule of law, Indonesia has issued legal regulations governing traffic law, including provisions prohibiting illegal racing, specifically Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Traffic and Road Transportation. The research method used was empirical juridical, using a legal approach related to traffic and road transportation, as well as field data. The results show that the Ambon Island and Lease Islands Police implement preventive measures through outreach and routine patrols, as well as repressive measures through enforcement and legal proceedings against violators. However, law enforcement still faces obstacles, such as limited infrastructure, low public legal awareness, and the influence of the social environment. In conclusion, law enforcement against illegal racing requires an integrated strategy, including increased officer capacity, support from local governments, and ongoing legal guidance and counseling for the community.
