Bring your IDs or you'll be punished

The city administration is launching a city-wide operation on
citizenship documents called Justice Operation Part II, from
Sept. 26 to Oct. 13.

Soesila Darmoadji, a spokesman for the city administration,
said over the weekend that the operation was meant to encourage
Jakartans to carry their identification cards when they travel.

During the operation, which is usually done during daytime, a
joint team, headed by the City Population Office, will stop
passing vehicles, including private cars, to check their
passengers' IDs.

Those who are caught traveling without IDS are tried on the
spot. "Those who are traveling without IDs can be ordered to pay
a fine and can be sentenced to jail" Soesila said.

Bisnis Indonesia reported that Central Jakarta will have the
citizenship operation from Sept. 26 to Sept. 27, North Jakarta
from Sept. 28 and Sept. 29, West Jakarta from Oct. 3 and Oct. 4,
South Jakarta from Oct. 10 and Oct. 11, and East Jakarta from
Oct. 12 and Oct. 13. (09)
