I. INTRODUCTION
The 1945 Constitution requires that Rechstaat element, as well as the Rule of Law, be part of the principles of the Indonesian state. Even explicitly the explanatory formulation of the 1945 Constitution states that the Indonesian state is based on law (Rechstaat), not based on mere power (Machstaat). The formulation of the explanation reflects that the 1945 Constitution requires restrictions on state power by law. Therefore, the consequence of the state of Indonesia as a rule of law is that the rights of citizens should be protected by law and all citizens have the same position before the law (Equality before the law). In a legal state, law enforcement is carried out with a legal process and legal procedures in force. In the enforcement of criminal law, it is carried out by criminal procedure law (formal criminal), as a procedure to enforce and implement the material criminal law.
