Abstract

Such rapid development not only has an impact on transportation but also in the automotive world, especially motorized vehicles. Modifiers began to modify motorized vehicles by changing parts of the motorized vehicle, to make it more attractive, to increase the performance of the motorbike, to make work a marker of the identity of their motorbike. Modification of motorized vehicles is regulated in Article 277 of Law 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation (and hereinafter referred to as the LLAJ Law) and ministerial regulation 45 of 2023 concerning the customization of motorized vehicles (hereinafter referred to as PM 45/2023) that if a person making modifications will be subject to Article 277 of Law 22 of 2009 LLAJ which is a prison sentence of 1 (one) year or a maximum fine of IDR 24,000,000 (twenty four million rupiah) if they do not comply with the regulations. However, many people do not interpret it correctly, regarding the modification of motorized vehicles whether it is permitted or not, therefore the police have an important role in monitoring and implementing it and the government should be a mirror for society so that it does not become a taboo and the law is sharp from the bottom to blunt to the top, This research examines the problems of law enforcement regarding motor vehicle modification deviations related to Article 277 of the LLAJ Law. The aim of this research is to provide an explanation of the legal vacuum that still needs to be the task of law enforcers so that people who love modifications receive legal protection and there are no differences between groups that cause a negative perspective on law enforcement officials or the government by the public.
