In the context of GSM (Global System for Mobile) starter card registration, This study aims to review how law enforcement addresses the criminal act of misusing another person's personal data for GSM starter card registration during the investigation stage; and how legal protection is provided to the owners of personal data that is used for such registrations. This study employs an empirical juridical method with a case study approach, focused on the jurisdiction of the Bangka Belitung Islands Regional Police. The findings issue indicate that law enforcement against the misuse of personal data during the investigation stage is carried out in a gradual and systematic manner through pre-emptive (early prevention through education), preventive (monitoring and control), and repressive (legal action against perpetrators) measures.
