This research method uses a normative juridical research type, with a legislative approach and a conceptual approach. The results of this study conclude: that legal protection for victims of sexual stalking through social media can be in the form of preventive legal protection and repressive legal protection. Meanwhile, the criminal legal liability, perpetrators of sexual stalking through social media can be subject to criminal sanctions in the form of imprisonment, fines, and/or other actions as stipulated in applicable laws and regulations.

Abstract

This study discusses Error in Persona , which is an error in determining legal subjects in criminal cases. This mistake has serious implications for the validity of the court decision and the protection of the rights of the accused. In the context of Indonesian criminal law, errors in identifying the perpetrators of criminal acts can lead to an unfair judicial process and even lead to the criminalization of innocent individuals. This study uses normative juridical methods with a legislative approach and case studies, to comprehensively understand the application of legal norms. The results of the study show that mistaken identity in criminal cases violates fundamental principles in the law, such as the principles of legal certainty, justice, and non-discrimination. In addition, such errors can have far-reaching legal consequences both for the integrity of the justice system and for the protection of human rights. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to strengthen the identification and verification mechanism from the investigation stage to the trial. This effort can be carried out through increasing the accuracy of population data, utilization in the process of identifying perpetrators of criminal acts. With these steps, it is hoped that errors in the determination of legal subjects can be minimized so that a more fair, accountable, and upholding the human rights of every citizen can be created.

Abstract

ownership by people outside the sub-district area as a result of the distribution of gono-gini property. The main problem studied is how the synchronization and legal implications between the principle of division of joint property in marriage (gono-gini) and the provisions of laws and regulations in the field of land that limit the ownership of agricultural land based on geographical domicile. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. Primary legal materials include the Basic Agrarian Law, the Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning/Head of BPN related to the limitation of agricultural land ownership, as well as the provisions of inheritance and marriage law. Secondary legal materials are analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study show that the prohibition of agricultural land ownership by people outside the sub-district area creates a conflict of norms when applied to the division of gono-gini property, especially if one or both spouses no longer reside in the sub-district where the land is located. There is a legal vacuum regarding the mechanism for the transfer of agricultural land rights due to gono-gini that exceeds the boundaries of the sub-district. This study recommends the need for extensive interpretation or regulatory changes to provide exceptions to the prohibition in the context of the distribution of common property, as well as the need for legal certainty for parties who acquire land through gono-gini but are outside the sub-district area.

Abstract

This study discusses the legality of service bureaus in assisting with motor vehicle tax administration and the potential for fraudulent practices that may occur in their implementation. The use of service bureaus by the public to facilitate the administrative process of motor vehicle tax payments is becoming increasingly common. However, this trend has not been matched by clear legal regulations regarding the status and operations of such service bureaus. The purpose of this study is to examine the legal status of service bureaus from the perspective of Indonesian legislation and to identify potential legal violations committed by certain individuals within these bureaus. The research method used is Normative Legal Research, a method aimed at examining laws and regulations, legal doctrines, and legal concepts related to the issues under study. Normative legal research was chosen because the primary focus of this study is the analysis of legal rules concerning motor vehicle taxation and the legality of service bureaus that assist with the payment process. There is a need for more explicit and specific legal regulation to prevent abuse and to provide legal certainty in the use of service bureaus related to motor vehicle tax administration.

Abstract

Parody of prestige brands in the context of commercial advertising has sparked complex legal debates, particularly regarding the boundary between freedom of expression and trademark protection. Prestige brands, as brands with a high reputation and strong symbolic value, are vulnerable to forms of exploitation that can harm their image and economic value. Based on the background above, the author proposes the following problem formulation: first, what is the legal responsibility of parody advertisers towards prestige brands? And second, how is the legal protection of prestige brands that are parodied for advertisement purposes? This research employs a normative legal type, with a statutory approach. The legal materials used are primary legal materials including: Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Brands and Geographical Indications, and Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. From the research results, it can be concluded that: the use of famous brands in parodies is not automatically protected by freedom of expression if the purpose is commercial and can mislead consumers. The perpetrators of the parody can be held legally accountable if the parody causes damage to the owner of the prestige brand, even though parody is a form of freedom of expression, its use must heed legal provisions so as not to violate the exclusive rights of the brand owner. The owner of the prestige brand has the right to demand the cessation of violations and compensation for the economic and moral damages incurred.
