Disregard for the law

National police chief General Timur Pradopo: ABC! Criminal Code! XYZ!

Man: The law is right... but law enforcers?

The police have again displayed their complete disregard for the law they are supposed to enforce by sheltering graft convict and former chief of detective Susno Duadji (left) from prosecutors attempting to escort him to prison. Police justified this on the grounds he was a citizen who had "the right to protection" – in stark contrast to the police's inaction when minority groups seek protection from Islamic vigilantes.
