the Pratrial process has occurred several legal violations as
following:
7
- That according to the Drug Unit Investigator Polres Tana Toraja at Makale
The applicant is caught by hand;
- That the Lone Judge's consideration in the Verdict

2012 also states the applicant has been caught hand;
- That in the redactional Letter of Arrest Warrant Number SP.Kap/

Perscale points are written: " That for the benefit of the Inquiry and
or the Criminal Code setup, and or for the offender the breach
has been called 2 (two) times in a row not without any reason,
then it needs to issue this Warrant";
- That in the Arrest Warrant Letter
SP.Kap/15/IX/2012/Drugs dated 28 September 2012
ordered to: 1. Andarias Lomo. Rank/NRP:
Bripka/58040247, title: angt. Sat Intelkam, 2. Paulus Pakiwa.
Pangkat/NRP: Brigpol/85100075, post: Maid Investigator, 3.

Associate Investigator. 4. Hecza Pasulu, Pangkal/NRP: Briptu/88090548,
office: angt. Sat Intelkam. 5. Hendra Frengki, Pangkat/NRP:
Briptu/89010128, post: angt. Sat Intelkam. 6. Fritz Alexander Leaso?
Pangkat/NRP: Briptu/87031531;
- That Andarias Lomo, Pangkat/NRP: Bripka/58040247 in
his description as a witness in front of the Prajudiciary trial
explains after the applicant, Irmania Bachtiar aka Mama Nio wife
The applicant, Runi was arrested on the same day and time then
all three were handed over to the Drug Unit Polres Tana Toraja and
The third arrest was preceded by information of gambling
so it was clear not because Arrest Warrant Number
SP.Kap/15/IX/2012/Drug dated September 28, 2012 and not
correct Perscales In The Arrest Warrant Number
SP.Kap/15/lX/2012/Drugs dated September 28, 2012 which in
popo stated that the Warrant was issued after which
ordered to be arrested has been called twice in a row;

and having as set up in Act Number 35
Year 2009 about Narcotics;

an arrest warrant referred to in paragraph (1) must
be given to his family immediately after the arrest was made
then the applicant ' s family after 24 days is on October 22
the new 2012 It can be legal to seek a lawyer, but
The saddest thing is too late because the applicant has been upgraded
to be the suspect and has been detained;
- That an extension of the arrest period is as much as 2 (two) times In a row-
is not the authority of the Indonesian National Police
instead of being the National Drug Agency's Investigator
as set in Section 76 junto Article 75 of the g Invite
Number 35 2009 on Narcotics and Section 84 Act
No. 35 Year 2009 "Narcotics Tana Toraja" to immediately deliver to the Investigator
The National Narcotics Agency about the investigation and
thus clearly the provisions of Act Number 35. 2009
on Narcotics differentiated between the Authority of Police Investigations
The Republic of Indonesia in this case Polres Drug Unit Tana Toraja
and the National Drug Agency Investigators Authority:
2. That in the Act No. 8 of the Year of 1981 on the Book
The Criminal Event Law does not regulate about refinement
about how long the word "immediately" so that the Republican Police Investigator
Indonesia and Judge Single in Pretrial Decree
No. 01 /PID/PRA/2012/PN.MKL dated November 19, 2012 to nai
freely up to 24 days after The Arrest was done was weighted
as meeting the meaning criteria of the word "immediately" in the provision
because according to the judge ' s consideration in The Act is not
outlined for sure how long the time span for the immediate word is (vide hal. 39 is the third paragraph of the Prejudicial case number
01 /PID/PRA/20I2/PN. MKL dated November 19, 2012):
9
3. That application of Article 18 paragraph (3) Invite Invite Number 8 Year 1981
on the Book of Criminal Event Law by Investigator
The Indonesian Republic Police in particular about the introduction of the word
"Soon" time is uncertain and equal to Indonesian citizens
in any case thus it does not guarantee the legal certainty that makes citizens treated unequal in front of the law (discriminatory), because the application of the word "immediately" in such provisions exists. that was done a few hours after the arrest was done, there
applied 1 (one) day, 2 (two) days up to 1 (one) weeks after
arrests are performed;
4. That in the case of the Prejudicial case number
01 /PID/PRA/2012/PN. MKL dated November 19, 2012 word "soon" has been
being interpreted for 24 (twenty-four days) that the arrest is done
so that for 24 (twenty four days) the family captured in this case the petitioner was not given chance to know
legitimately about the cage of the criminal offense and
cannot attempt the distraction of the Advocate or Lawyer
during the Investigator was done so as for 24 (twenty-four day)
the legal right of the applicant has been limited by investigators in the matter;
5. That in the provisions of Article 27 paragraph (1) of the Constitution of 1945 which governs
about: All citizens simultaneously in law
and the government and shall uphold the law and governance
with no exception, also very clearly set Article 28D paragraph (1)
Constitution of 1945 reads "Every person is entitled to the terms of recognition, guarantee,
Fair protection and legal certainty as well as the same treatment in
face of law", as well as Article 28I paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution reads '' Any
people are entitled free of a discriminatory treatment of the base
anything and is entitled to a protection against the treatment that
is discriminatory to it ". so it refers to the application of the laws of the Article
18 paragraph (3) Invite No. 8 Year 1981 on the Book of Invite
Invite the Criminal Event Law by the Indonesian Police Investigator
in particular about the improvement of the word "Immediately" as described
above clearly there has been a conflict. laws that need to be decided
definitely about " Completion of the word "immediately" in Article 18 of the paragraph (3) Invite-
10
Invite Number 8 Year 1981 on the Book of the Law of Events
Criminal and because such contention has occurred between the Invite-
Invite and the Constitution or the Basic Law of 1945 then this has been
being the competence of the Court of Conslitusi as set in Article
3 letters a Invite Invite Number 24 Year 2003 on the Court
Constitution;
6. That the Prajudiciary judge as described above in fact
is the expectation that the rights of the applicant as a citizen
Indonesia guaranteed by the constitution may be guaranteed an even in
the final verdict of the decision. and in the practice of application of law,
in support of a conflict of law enforcement of Article 18 paragraph
(3) Law No. 8 Year 1981 on the Book of Law
The Law of the Criminal Events with Article 27 paragraph (1) Constitution of 1945, Article 28D paragraph
(1) UUD 1945 and Article 28I paragraph (2) UUD 1945 and therefore
The issue of this law is to be decided by the Supreme Court of Judges
Constitutional Court of Justice;
7. That an indication has been forced to make the applicant
as a Suspect in the event of the law as described in
the chronological above is very clear as to the fact the law was found
at the applicant's stall When arrest is the plastic that is charged
as a former site of the sabu-sabu narcotics ingredient and not found
the sabu-sabu narcotics material, if only the warrant of the arrest warrant
is delivered with "immediately" with the meaning maximum 3 (league) days then
The family will get a chance to find Attorney's companion
or advocate before the vetting process is too far done and
Investigators or Investigative Investigator Polres Tana Toraja is difficult to change
a plastic called as a place to store the ingredients
sabu-sabu narcotics became sabu-sabu narcotics and were made
the basis of setting the applicant as a Suspect;
8. That of the plastic that's been accused of storing
the sabu-sabu narcotic material is illogical and sensible can
be sampled in a forensic laboratory to determine the contents of
narcotics. sabu-sabu that was then made the basis of the designation
The applicant as a Suspect;
11
9. That it was supposed to be expected of the applicant himself in 2010
indeed using the sabu-sabu narcotic material had been the target of the operation
and was forced into a suspect with the confidence of the person who was
using the material Sabu-sabu narcotics in its urine if tested still
contained the sabu-sabu narcotics material, this should not be allowed because
other than will be vulnerable to coercion of will and violate the rights
of the citizen's constitutional Indonesia will also make the former
set-trapped wearers do n' t have a chance conversion or stop
wear while on the other side Act No. 35 Year 2009
about Narcotics giving room for drug ex-users to
undergo rehabilitation;
10. That the delivery of the arrest warrant is 24
(twenty-four) days after the applicant is arrested as the description in
on clearly has violated the Applicant ' s constitutional rights due to Invite-
Invite not to be defined "immediately" in the provisions of Article 18 of the paragraph (3) of the Act
No. 8 of the Year of 1981 on the Book of the Criminal Event Law;

free up to 24 days the capture is done weighted as
meets the meaning of the word "immediate" in the terms because

is defined for definitively how long the time span is for the immediate word (vide hal. 39 alinea third Verdict Prajudicial Matter Number 01 /PID/PRA/2OI2/PN.MKL dated 19 November 2012):
12. That based on the entire description above may be very clear to the importance
The Supreme Court of Justice of the Constitutional Court examined and
severing the request for this material test to provide an upgrade
is firm and surely above word "immediately" that is in Section 18 paragraph (3)
Act No. 8 of 1981 on the Code

the enactment of the Act is moveed to be tested;
e. It is possible that with the request of the application,
The constitutional loss postured will not or no longer occur;
On those matters above, then according to the Government needs to be questioned
interest The applicant is appropriate as a party to consider
the rights and/or its constitutional authority be harmed by the enactment of the Article
16
18 paragraph (3) Law Number 8 of 1981 on Event Law
Criminal also whether there is a constitutional loss of the applicant who
is referred to is specific (special) and actual or at least be
A potential that according to reasonable reasoning can be determined to occur,
and whether there is a causal relationship (causal verband) between the loss and
the enactment of the Act is being asked to be tested. As such,
The applicant in testing the Act against the Constitution of 1945 must
explain and prove first:
1) its position as the applicant as referred to in Article 51
paragraph (1) of the MK Act;
2) the rights and/or constitutional authority granted by
of the 1945 Constitution resulting from the enactment of the Act
on the motion of testing
Against the legal position of the applicant, the Government may provide
explanation as follows:
a. That it must be distinguished between the constitutionality testing of the norm Invite-
Invite (constitutional review) and the issues arising as a result of
from the application of the norm of the Act in a number of countries
(e.g. Germany or South Korea) is included in the scope
issue of litigation or constitutional adduction (constitutional complaint)
whose authority it is also granted to the court
the constitution. In the first instance (constitutional review), which
is regrettable is whether an Act norm is contradictory
or not with the constitution, whereas in the second
(constitutional complaint) that Whether an action
public official (or not doing anything public official) has
violated a basic right (basic rights) a person, which among others can
occur because of public officials who concerned mistakenly in interpreing
the norm of the Act in its application.
b. Under Article 24C of the paragraph (1) of the Constitution of 1945, the Court is expressly only
stated to have the authority to examine, prosecute, and
disconnect it against whether an Act norm is contrary or
not with the constitution (constitutional review), while against
17
The current mentioned problem (constitutional complaint),
to date, the 1945 Constitution did not set it;
c. That after reading carefully the request of the applicant or
the applicant's description in the trial, According to the Government
in question the applicant is more an
constitutional complaint rather than judicial review or constitutional review.
However, by the applicant the question was submitted as
the request for the Act to test Act 1945 by dalil
that the provisions in the Penal Code and the KUHAP are being mohoned
testing is contrary. with the provisions of the Constitution of 1945,
d. That the flaws or flaws that occur in the process of applying
the norm is not true if it is overcome with the path of revoking that norm. Cause,
if it is done then whenever we are impeached by the practice of applying
an Act norm, in casu norm of the law Act
criminal, and it is addressed by repeating the norm Act
The criminal law, then the penal law, would never have been
to have a reason and place to live in society.
Anyway, if there is a weakness or lack that occurs
in the process of applying the norm, in casu norm of the Act as
experienced by the applicant Number 3/PUU-X/2013 where the mail gust
A new arrest warrant was delivered 24 days after the arrest,
is an unprofessional act (unprofessional conduct) by the apparatus
RI Police. The applicant may report an act of unprofessional conduct
to the police supervising division (Propam Division) or
may report any deviations that occurred to
the state agency set up. It's like the KOMPOLNAS. In addition
our legal system telam provides a way to demand justice with
pre-judicial institutions and through legal efforts (appeals, casings, PK)
Based on those things above, the Government argues the applicant
in this request does not meet qualifications as a legal standing party (legal standing) as intended by
provisions in Article 51 of the paragraph (1) Act Number 24 of 2003
about The Constitutional Court as amended by the Invite-
18
Invite Number 8 Year 2011 and based on the verdict
The previous Constitutional Court. Therefore, according to the Government is
right if the Honourable Chairman/Assembly of the Constitutional Court of Constitutional Court is
wise stated the applicant's request was not acceptable (niet ontvankelijk verklaard).
But so the government is giving up entirely to His Majesty
Chairman/Assembly of the constitutional judges to consider and judge it
whether the applicant has a legal position (legal standing) or not,
as defined by Article 51 of the paragraph (1) of the Law Number
24 of 2003 on the Constitutional Court as amended
with the Act No. 6 of 2011, and based on the ruling-
Court ruling Previous Constitution (vide Putermination Number 006 /PUU-
III/2005 and Putermination Number 11 /PUU-V/2007).
III. GOVERNMENT EXPLANATION OF THE APPLICATION OF THE LEGISLATION REQUIRED BY THE APPLICANT
That of the Applicant's Control, the Government remains of the opinion
that the provisions of Article 18 of the paragraph (3) Act No. 8 of the Year of 1981
about the Criminal Event Law (KUHAP) does not conflict with Article 27
paragraph (1), Article 28D paragraph (1) and Article 28I paragraph (2) of the Basic Law
State of the Republic of Indonesia in 1945 for the reasons as follows:
1. That arrest and archery can only be performed
based on written orders by officials authorized by
legislation and only in terms of and in a regulated manner
with the Act, (except in terms of caught hand)
2. That the arrest warrant lists the identities
the suspect and mentions the reason for the arrest and the brief description
the alleged crime scene as well as the place he examined. In addition to
given to the arrested person, the warrant gust
arrest was also given to his family immediately after
arrest.
3. The provision was intended to inform
the families of the captured and legal certainty for the
19
The arrested family on the grounds of arrest as well as the venue
the person in the catch is currently located.
4. That special in terms of what is set forth in Section 18 paragraph (3)
KUHAP is against the gust of arrest warrant
as referred to in paragraph (1) should be given to
his family immediately after the arrest, is done to accommodate
community awareness demands and as well as to provide legal certainty
for the families arrested.
5. That in the Indonesian National Dictionary of the 2nd edition, the Balai
Pustaka publication, the word "immediately" as it is mohoned or the word phrase
is being honed by the applicant, then means lekas, fast, hastily,
so it should be A gust of arrest warrants must be
delivered to the family, then in a short period of time-
in short, quick, wide-time, and hastily
to the immediate end of the family's side.
6. Nevertheless in practice, the application of the provisions of Article 18 paragraph (3)
The KUHAP is not detached from the obstacles or constraints-
the constraints that investigators may face in terms of delivery

related to the shipment of the arrest warrant warrant. Regardless of
the obstacles that may be encountered, the warrant gust
the arrest remains mandatory immediately to the family
the person in custody.
7. That the flaws or flaws that occur in the process
the application of norms or the implementation of norms in the practice order, in
casu as is being honed by the applicant such as in
in notice against arrest to her family that
just up to 24 business days. According to the Government of such things
entered the category of non-professional or unprofessional acts
conduct by the apparatus given the authority for it.
8. That there is no constitutional loss of the applicant to the a quo,
because in terms of delay given by the POLRI investigators
20
to the Applicant family is concerning the implementation of the norm and
in this case POLRI investigators have given the warrant a warrant
arrest to the Applicant family so that the severing of the Number
01 /PID/PRA/2012/PN. MKL dated November 19, 2012 refused
the applicant's prejudicial application due to which it concerns
the validity of the arrest is if the warrant is a warrant
The arrest is not given to the suspect's family.
9. The Prajudicial verdict Number 01 /PID/PRA/2012/PN.MKL dated 19
November 2012 has been in accordance with the procedure and is guaranteed by the Invite-
Invite as stated in Section 77 and Section 78 of the KUHAP and

10. That against the applicant's arrest has been based on
the provisions of Article 17 of the KUHAP where the reason for the arrest of a
The suspect is that someone is suspected of being violent.
penal and a strong guess is based on at the start of the proof that
is enough.

implores the esteemed Chairman/Assembly of the Constitutional Court of Constitutional Court

have been arrested by the State Police of the Republic of Indonesia Tana Toraja Resort
with the Arrest Warrant Letter of SP.Kap/15/IX/2012/Narba,

[3.8] Is weighed by considering the loss of the loss
experienced by the applicant is associated with the constitutional right of the applicant, according to
the Court, The applicant has an interest in the provisions in the KUHAP
29
in particular about the manner of arrest, so there is a causal link
due to the loss of the applicant with the provision of the norm a quo.
Based on that, the applicant has a position. law (legal
standing) to apply for a quo;
[3.9] Draw that by the court of competent court
a a quo and the applicant have a legal standing (legal standing)
to apply for a quo then the Court will be
consider the subject of the request;
The subject
[3.10] weighing that the applicant postulate the Section 18 paragraph (3) of the KUHAP
that states, " The arrest warrant for the arrest as
referred to in verse (1) must be given to his family immediately after
arrest is done. " is contrary to Article 27 of the paragraph (1), Article
28D paragraph (1), and Article 28I paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution because there is no certainty about
the immediate "immediate" imperfections to the norm a quo, so that investigators are redefined and
implements the timeframe delivery of the warrant
The arrest is different. This according to the applicant elicits
the legal uncertainty that raises the inequality of the treatment before
the law and poses discriminatory treatment of the citizens;

delivered the statement orally in the February 21 hearing
2013 and has delivered a written statement received at Kepaniteraan
on 28 May 2013, which The full body fits in the sitting
Perkara, which is the point that explains it. as follows:

so that it should be a gust of arrest warrant should
be delivered to the family, in a short time,
hastily, the rest, and is in a hurry to get to
to her family;
b. that the flaws or flaws that occur within the application process
the norm or implementation of norms in the practice order, in casu as
is being honed by the applicant as for example, in the notice

working day, according to the Government of such thing including the action category not
professional or unprofessional conduct by the apparatus which given
authority for it;
c. that there is no constitutional right to the applicant over Section a quo,
because in terms of delay given by Polri investigators to
the applicant's family is concerning implementation of the norm and in this
Polri investigators have given a gust arrest warrant to
the applicant 's family so Putermination Number: 01 /PID/PRA/ 2012 /PN.MKL,
November 19, 2012 also rejected the applicant' s pretrial
because that concerns the unvalidity of the arrest was if
a warrant for an arrest warrant is not given to the family
The suspect.
[3.12] Draw that against the applicant, Council
The People's Representative has delivered the oral description in the trial on
on February 21, 2013, which is further contained in the Seating section
Perkara, which in this case describes as follows:
-that if in the practice of applying the provisions of Article 18 of the paragraph (3) KUHAP,
The investigator in delivering the arrest warrant exists
the difference in time for his delivery to the captured family because
there is no limit to the time span of the word "immediately", resulting in
The occurrence of discrimination as postulate by the applicant, DPR
argues, to provide a gust of arrest warrant
to the suspect's family not regardless of the obstacles or constraints
that may be encountered investigators in the event of a mailing gust of mail
arrest to the suspect's family, so in any event
arrest, delivery of a warrant for his arrest to
The arrested family may have different time. That
according to the House view is not included in the catagory definition
discrimination as set forth in Article 1 of the 3 Act
Number 39 of 1999 on Human Rights mentioned:
"Discrimination is any restriction, harassment, or impossibility that
directly or indirectly based on the top human differentiation

the reduction, deviation or removal of recognition, execution or
use of human rights and basic freedoms in good life
individual and collective in the political field, Economy. laws, social,
culture. and other aspects of life ".
Court opinion
[3.13] A draw that the constitutionality issue in the plea a quo
is, whether the phrase" immediately " in Article 18 of the paragraph (3) of the contradictory KUHAP
with the 1945 Constitution for causing legal uncertainty, the treatment
discrimination and contrary to the principle of equality in the presence
the law?
[3.14] weighed that against the constitutional issue, according to
the court, although a citizen has been designated as a suspect
or has been arrested for a crime, but citizens
The country still has a constitutional right guaranteed by the Constitution of 1945.
A citizen who was arrested and later detained by investigators who
authorities have the interest to prepare any kind of defense and
legal protection. It is very important for the family of suspects to
to know the whereabouts of the suspect as well as the reason for arrest and arrest
against the suspect in the shortest time possible to prepare everything
a form of legal protection for a suspect. It is guaranteed by the Constitution of 1945.
According to the law of the criminal event, any suspect has the rights set
in Article 50 up to Article 68 of the KUHAP which among them is the right
to be examined immediately, submitted to the court and on trial, the right gets help
the law, as well as the right to vote for legal counsel /advocate. Notice to
the suspect ' s family side is important and urgent, one of which is
intended to support the stress of such rights. After all, with
the immediate notice to the suspect's family may be obtained with certainty
whether the person is detained, kidnapped, or lost;
[3.15] A draw that the phrase "soon" in the a quo can be found. interpreted
that in the law of the criminal event, after being made an arrest against
32
suspects, notice to the suspect ' s family must be delivered in
a short time in order for the suspect to be able to immediately obtain his rights.
If such notice is not immediately delivered then potentially
elicits a violation of the suspect ' s right, due to the existence and status
the law of the concerned is not immediately known to the family. According to
The court, there is no definite formulation of the length of time that
referred to "immediately" in section a quo may cause the party
investigators interpret differently for each case dealt with. This
may incur legal uncertainty and potentially elicits
injustice by the investigators;
That according to the law of the criminal event of any forced attempt
in the inquiry and prosecution of by authorized agencies can
be controlled through a pretrial institution. It is set up in Article 77 to
with Article 83 of the KUHAP. Under that provision, the suspect has the right to
file a pretrial against a specific offence committed by the party
investigators in the investigation process, which in it includes arrest and
detention. If the issue does not have a formula
clearly then it becomes a norm problem, not only
the problem of violations in the implementation of norms. Based on that,
according to the Court, Article 18 of the paragraph (3) of the KUHAP does not meet the asas of certainty
the fair law because in execution gives rise to a different interpretation that
is different. Different interpretations by subsequent lawmakers can
give rise to discriminatory treatment of the suspect, so according to
Court, the applicant ' s plea is justified according to the law, but
so, if the provisions of Section 18 paragraph (3) of the Criminal Code (3) of the KUHAP are declared to have no
binding legal power then may eliminate the obligation
investigator to deliver a copy of the arrest warrant,
thus it is. incline violation of legal protection principles and
legal certainty. Therefore, for the sake of a fair law, the Court
needs to interpret regarding the phrase "immediately" on the provisions of Article 18 of the paragraph (3)
KUHAP;
That according to the Court, by considering the development
in the means and Telecommunications infrastructure as well as letter, timeframe
that is appropriate for investigators to deliver a copy of the arrest warrant
33
to the suspect ' s family is no more than 3 x 24 hours since it was published
the arrest letter said. However, considering
also the distance difference, coverage and geographic conditions of each region
across Indonesia, there is a possibility of a more
of 3 x 24 hours for delivery of a copy of the arrest warrant to
the families of the suspects who are in different administrative regions, or
are in different towns/counties or provinces with the suspect's place
it was captured and/or withheld, therefore required of the interpretation that
can be applied In general, in order to accommodate the difference in the condition
by keeping the legal certainty concerned. In this case, the time 7 (seven) days
is the appropriate deadline for delivering a copy of the warrant
the detention. Based on legal considerations above then appropriate
with asas kepateness and legal certainty, the phrase "immediately" in the formulation
Section 18 of the paragraph (3) of the KUHAP that states, " Busan warrants
arrest as referred to in paragraph (1) should be provided to
his family immediately after the arrest is done. " must be stated
contrary to the 1945 Constitution as long as not being defined "immediately and no more
of 7 (seven) days";
[3.16] Draws That Based On All Such Considerations,
according to the Court, the applicant ' s plea regarding the testing of the constitutionality
Article 18 of the paragraph (3) of the KUHAP is warranted according to the law for some;
4. KONKLUSI
