What's wrong with my visa?

I have a complaint about an investigation made by the intelligence service of the police. They visited PT Factory, checking my colleague's and my business visas. My colleague's was OK, but mine had a problem, perhaps because I have a white skin.

My colleague lives on the company premises and I at a hotel. As per a request from the police last year PT Factory had to register further guests, as twice we sent workers to Indonesia without a visa in 2003 to check goods we had purchased from them, and they were asked to leave the country. PT Factory paid some money to secure their release.

I left the hotel on the morning of Feb. 10 to go to PT Factory. The driver informed me that the police were at the factory checking my colleague at 9:30 a.m. I arrived at 10 a.m. and met with my colleague, who said all was fine.

The company representative asked for my passport for the police to check. I hadn't brought my passport with me, so the driver of PT Factory and two officers went to the hotel and asked a representative from PT Factory to hold my passport. They left, saying that there was something wrong with my visa. I went to the hotel and immediately called the issuing consulate to clarify. They said as long as the visa was a type 431 or type 439 it should be OK. The police requested that I also register at the police station. Aren't immigration records enough, including to change my visa to type 439? So the consulate informed me that I didn't need to register with the police. Who is right? What's the rule here, if any?

The police should be honest! We are just trying to make a living!
