Getting Easier: Pay ETLE Fines, No Longer Need to Go to the Bank

KatadataOTO – Paying electronic tickets is now easier because the police are equipped with various new facilities such as Mobile ETLE, Portable, and Thermal Printers. These facilities have several advantages, including their compact size and portability as needed.

Interestingly, if people commit a violation, they can pay the fine on the spot. Thus, they do not need to go to a bank just to pay the ticket fine.

The police also emphasized that the funds channeled will be received by the state as Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP).

“Instead of going to the bank, violators can pay the fine on the spot. The proof of payment will then be printed and given,” said Brigadier General Faizal, Director of Law Enforcement of the National Police Traffic Corps, in his official statement.

However, this new service is only available in a few Regional Police jurisdictions such as West Java, East Java, DIY, and Central Java. The police are committed to providing similar services in other regions.

This is because these facilities have been proven to enhance transparency in the field. Officers can no longer engage in illegal levies as all transactions are recorded digitally.

The police stated that the ticket sanctions imposed on traffic violators are channeled to three agencies simultaneously: the Police, the Prosecutor's Office, and the Courts.

These funds are then used to meet various operational needs. Additionally, some of the funds are returned to the community through various activities.

“These funds are classified as Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) and sent to the Prosecutor's Office. There are regulations in place; the use of ticket funds is shared by three agencies: the Police, the Prosecutor's Office, and the Courts,” he later explained.

ETLE Proven Effective

It was previously reported that the Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (ETLE) system is claimed by the National Police Traffic Corps to have been effective. This is evident from the large number of violations successfully recorded.

In its report, the ETLE system recorded at least 8,335,692 traffic violations from January to September 2025.

The large number of recorded violations makes law enforcement more transparent and helps reduce the fatality rate on the roads.

“It is proven that in the first semester of 2025, the fatality rate decreased by 19.8 percent. So, we were able to prevent nearly 2,512 deaths,” said Inspector General Drs. Agus Suryonugroho, S.H., M.Hum., Head of the National Police Traffic Corps.
