Indonesia Police Watch: Inafis a Waste

Indonesia Police Watch (IPC) head Neta S. Pane, says the implementation of the Inafis card project must be stopped for four reasons.

The first reason, according to Neta, is because Inafis, the finger print ID card, has no additional benefit than regular ID cards such as drivers’ licenses, passports and the planned e-ID card.

Neta also said the project, which has cost the state Rp43.2 billion, has not been transparent. The National Police, said Neta, never announced the winner of the project tender. In addition, Neta said the Inafis card system ‘criminalizes’ citizens because criminal records will be stored on the Inafis card.

Neta said that no more than 2 percent of 250 million Indonesian citizens have been involved in criminal acts. Furthermore, Neta also questioned the Inafis card system, which refers to the United States police system.
