Pengaturan Hukum Pengelolaan Dokumentasi Tahanan dan Barang Bukti Berbasis Kepastian Hukum Dalam Sistem Peradilan Pidana Indonesia
Abstract
The management of detainee and evidence documentation constitutes a fundamental component of the criminal justice system, as it ensures the legality of law enforcement actions, preserves the integrity of evidence, and safeguards human rights. However, the existing legal framework remains fragmented across various statutory regulations and has yet to establish an integrated documentation system, resulting in regulatory disharmony, inconsistent administrative practices, and limited accountability throughout criminal proceedings. This study aims to analyze the legal regulation governing the management of detainee and evidence documentation in the Indonesian criminal justice system from the perspective of legal certainty and to formulate an ideal legal framework for its improvement. The research employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Legal materials were collected through library research comprising legislation, legal doctrines, textbooks, and scientific journal articles, which were analyzed qualitatively using a prescriptive approach. The findings reveal that the current regulatory framework remains sectoral, lacks standardized documentation procedures, and fails to ensure continuous documentation of detainees and the chain of custody of evidence throughout every stage of criminal proceedings. As an ideal legal formulation, this study proposes the Integrated Legal Documentation Management System (ILDMS), which integrates detainee documentation, evidence documentation, audit trails, chain of custody, electronic official reports, certified electronic signatures, QR Code-based digital identification, and interoperable information systems among law enforcement institutions. The proposed model is expected to serve as a foundation for reforming the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code in order to strengthen legal certainty, accountability, transparency, and the protection of human rights within the Indonesian criminal justice system.
