Supreme Court Regulation Number 02 of 2012, Minor TheftAbstract
Supreme Court Regulation Number 02 of 2012 Concerning Adjustments to the Limits of Minor Crimes and the Amount of Fines in the Criminal Code has changed the limits in minor criminal cases which were originally limited to a minimum of IDR 250,- (two hundred and fifty rupiah) to IDR 2,500,000,- (two million five hundred thousand rupiah) and also regulates the nominal amount of money for the application of Criminal Fines, where the nominal amount is multiplied to 10,000 (ten thousand) times. The adjustment according to Supreme Court Regulation Number 02 of 2012 concerning Adjustment of the Limits of Minor Crimes and the Amount of Fines in the Criminal Code has three main contents, namely: adjustment of the limits of minor crimes themselves, adjustment of the threat of criminal fines in the Criminal Code, and the consequences for the procedural law applied to the case. The feeling of injustice in applying sanctions that do not match the monetary values in the Criminal Code has led to cases such as those that occurred in the case of minor theft under Article 362 of the Criminal Code which is threatened with a sentence of 5 years in prison.Supreme Court Regulation Number 02 of 2012 Concerning Adjustment of Limits for Minor Crimes and the Amount of Fines in the Criminal Code has become a dilemma for investigators because they cannot detain suspects and cannot continue the legal process to the court level considering that the value of the goods taken by the perpetrator is below Rp. 2,500,000 (two million five hundred thousand rupiah).
