The purpose of this research is to know the laws and regulations; especially
Article 56 KUHAP is already implemented properly or not. Research data were
collected through way of literature study and interviews with the parties directly
related to the writing of this law as the police, prosecutors, judges, advocates, and
prisoner who had been a suspect. A technique of data analysis was done by the
process of deduction using the method of deductive reasoning. Based on data
analysis has been conducted, it can be concluded that the right of suspects to
obtain legal aid in the investigation referred to the rules can not be implemented
properly. This is due to a lack of coordination among law enforcement agencies.
Police investigators often do not provide an opportunity for suspects to determine
who will become their advocate and did not offer any Legal Aid for free to the
suspects who are poor; sometimes the suspects are people who are blind to the
law, meanwhile the government funds to provide the finance assistance Legal Aid
for free is not enough.
