PENEGAKAN HUKUM PIDANA TERHADAP JUDI ONLINE DI POLDA SUMATERA UTARA KAITANNYA DENGAN KEABSAHAN PEMBUKTIAN BUKTI ELEKTRONIK

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Soccer betting and poker are electronic crimes, but in the process of snaring offenses they often still
use the provisions of Article 303 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code, instead of referring to the
provisions of Law No. 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions. The policy
position of Law no. 11 of 2008 is a special position according to the principle of "lex specialis derogat
lex generalis". The gap in Article 63 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code which still regulates the
provisions of special criminal rules is seen to overlap with the position of Article 27 of the ITE Law
which carries a penalty of six years in prison. So it is considered important to discuss the rules of
position in the online gambling investigation procedure at the North Sumatra Regional Police. This
research will examine and analyze 1) How is criminal law enforcement against online gambling
crimes at the North Sumatra Regional Police; and 2) The validity of electronic evidence in proving
online gambling crime cases. The results of the research formulate where law enforcement against
online gambling crimes prioritizes due process of law indicators; and regarding the validity of
electronic evidence as digital evidence in uncovering criminal cases of online gambling, it must fully
meet the evidentiary requirements, so that it can be used at the investigative level.
