Abstract

False reporting is a violation of the law that can damage the integrity of the justice system and public confidence in justice. This research aims to investigate the legal aspects of false reporting, especially in relation to cases that are acquitted by judges. This research uses a normative juridical approach to evaluate Indonesian laws regarding false reporting and concentrates on Article 317 of the Criminal Code, which criminalizes false reporting that harms other parties. This research also discusses the trial process from reporting, investigation, to decision making in court. The study found that a lack of compelling evidence, procedural errors, and the judge's precautionary principle, which favors acquitting a defendant when there is reasonable doubt about his or her guilt, were factors that frequently led to acquittal decisions in false reporting cases. Case studies also show that errors in the investigation and evidence collection process can lead to acquittals that reduce public trust in the legal system, increase the likelihood of irresponsible people abusing the legal system, and make victims feel unfair. Through in-depth analysis, this research proposes improving legal procedures and increasing transparency in the judicial process to ensure justice and prevent abuse of the legal system. It is hoped that legal education for the public can reduce cases of false reporting and increase understanding of the legal consequences of these actions.
