REFORMULASI KEBIJAKAN HUKUM PIDANA TERHADAP PENGAWALAN AMBULANS OLEH KOMUNITAS PENGAWAL AMBULANS DI INDONESIA

Abstract

Priority vehicles as regulated in article 134 of the Road Traffic and Transportation Law must be
escorted by the authorized party, namely the police. However, in practice it is very rare to find an
ambulance escort by the police. This then gave birth to a sense of community concern to form an
ambulance guard community in Indonesia. However, this reaps the pros and cons in society and also
contradicts the positive law in force in Indonesia. The purpose of writing this thesis, namely: First, to find
out the urgency of forming an ambulance escort community. Second, to find out the arrangements for
escorting ambulances in Indonesian criminal law. Third, to find out the reformulation of criminal law
policies against ambulance escorts in the future.
This research is classified into this type of research which is normative legal research or can also
be called doctrinal legal research. Normative legal research is library law research. In this normative
research the authors conducted research on legal principles. Research on legal principles, namely
research conducted on legal principles which are benchmarks for behaving or behaving appropriately or
inappropriately. This research is descriptive analysis in nature, namely describing and analyzing the
problems raised which aim to describe concretely the reformulation of criminal law policies against
ambulance escorts by the ambulance escort community in Indonesia.
From the results of the research and discussion it can be concluded that, first, the ambulance escort
community was born in the midst of anxiety and empathy from community groups who care about priority
vehicles in emergencies such as fire engines and ambulances that are stuck in a traffic jam without any
escort; secondly, in the current Indonesian criminal law, it is stipulated that only the police, in this case
the traffic police, have the right to escort priority vehicles including fire engines and ambulances; third,
there needs to be an effort to reformulate or renew criminal law, namely creating a codification of
criminal law to further regulate the escort of ambulance vehicles by the community and create legal
certainty.
