Denpasar traffic police have launched ETLE Mobile Handheld — a portable version of the ETLE electronic system for recording traffic offences. An officer can now capture a motorbike or car number plate using a dedicated device or a smartphone connected to the ETLE system, after which the data is processed digitally. From 6 to 10 March, the new approach recorded 113 offences.
The standard ETLE system in Bali was launched on 28 November 2022: at the time, police reported a network of fixed and mobile cameras. Now an offence can be recorded not only by a fixed camera, but also directly on the road during patrols.
The officer takes a photo or video of the number plate, the system identifies the vehicle and the type of offence, and the record is then sent for additional checks. If the details are confirmed, an electronic fine is issued to the vehicle owner based on the registration data.
According to the police, this method can record riding without a helmet, ignoring road signs, and crossing lane markings. From 6 to 10 March, the new system recorded 113 offences.
Of course, driving without a licence cannot be detected this way. But an officer can stop you to check your documents — especially if they realise the rider is a foreigner. If you do not yet have a local driving licence, we recommend contacting Legal Indonesia; they can help you obtain one.
