"The Investigator Laughed and Sent Him Home": A Claim About My Police Reports
One line in a public Threads reply says that when I reported to the police, the investigator laughed and told me to go home. That is a claim of fact. This post separates it from the opinions around it, and says what I can and cannot show.
This article does not claim that the author lied. It says the line is stated as fact, gives no source, and does not match my experience. The full record is in the main post.
This is my account and my opinion. It is not a finding by any court.
Scope and identity note
- The line: "Pas lapor polisi, ditanya sama penyidik diketawain disuruh pulang". Roughly: when he reported to the police, the investigator asked him, laughed, and told him to go home.
- The author: the Threads account @ramaabdr, discussed here.
- Sources: a screenshot of the reply, and my own experience. I do not attach the reports here. Their numbers are in my files, and I do not publish them in this post.
What I observed
- The line is not framed as a guess. It has no "I heard" and no "I think". It describes an event in the past tense.
- The author was not with me when I filed. The reply names no source.
- In my experience my reports were accepted and registered. My letter counts thirteen reports filed with the Jakarta regional police and units under it. I do not say all were treated the same way, only that none was turned away at the desk.
Why this line is different
"Somasi as a service is a nuisance" is an opinion. A reader cannot check it and does not need to. "The investigator laughed and sent him home" is a claim about what happened, and a reader can ask: who said so, and were they there? The Indonesian Criminal Code treats an accusation of a specific thing more seriously than a plain insult. My letter relies on the article on slander for this line and treats the other lines as insults.
What I can show, and what I cannot
- I can say that registered reports exist and that a registered report is not a verdict.
- I cannot say what every officer said or felt. A person can be told, politely or not, that a matter is not criminal. That would not make my reports invalid, but I do not claim it never happened.
- I cannot say that the author knew the line was untrue. My letter argues he should have known after he read it. That is an argument, and a court would have to decide.
Where I am probably wrong
I may be reading a joke too literally. "Laughed and sent home" could be a rough way of saying "your reports go nowhere". Even so, I would answer that thirteen reports exist and the outcome of each is a separate matter.
