Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: Wiretapping in corruption cases serves as a vital instrument to uncover concealed and systemic crimes; however, its application raises constitutional and ethical concerns, particularly regarding the protection of privacy and human dignity.
Purpose/Study Objectives: This study aims to examine the legal and political framework of wiretapping in Indonesia and to propose a human rights–based legal reform.


Novelty: This study offers a reformulation model of wiretapping regulation grounded in a constitutional and human rights analytical framework, integrating the principles of legality, necessity, and proportionality.
Methodology: This research employs a normative-juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, supported by the analysis of judicial decisions and legal doctrines.
Results/Findings: The findings reveal that wiretapping regulations in Indonesia remain fragmented across sectoral laws, leading to legal uncertainty and potential abuse of authority. This study proposes the establishment of a comprehensive Wiretapping Act regulating authorization procedures, limits surveillance powers, data governance, and independent mechanisms. Judicial authorization and strict limitations on the scope and duration of interception are essential to ensure accountability. By incorporating constitutional principles and international human rights standards, this reformulation positions wiretapping as a legitimate investigative tool while safeguarding fundamental rights within a democratic rule of law.
