Indonesia is a state of law, which places the law to regulate everything and action in the
daily activities of people in Indonesia, in order to create order and prosperity in the
community. Indonesia is inseparable from the flow of globalization, especially the period
of social media which is a forum for people to find and provide actual information related
to events that occur in society. Some cases regarding the rapid development of social media
are inversely proportional to the social role of society in real terms, one of which was
discussed in this study, namely people who videotaped victims of traffic accidents, without
carrying out assistance to those victims. In this study, researchers will examine these facts,
with a normative research method, by comparing the existing legislative aspects, with
existing social facts. Indonesian criminal law has regulated the abandonment of people
who need help, namely in Article 531 of the Criminal Code, but until now the
implementation of the article does not exist, or law enforcement regarding the case of video
recording, by law enforcement officials especially the police, no one has investigated the
case, whereas the police have free action in carrying out their tasks, which is called
discretion. Hopefully, this research can add insight in general to every reader, also add
awareness and special information to law enforcement agencies specifically the police.
