Abstract

Traffic congestion in Pekanbaru City is caused by the rapid population growth
spike. Many of the people of Pekanbaru City come from other areas who are looking
for a livelihood in Pekanbaru City. Because of this problem, there were young people
known as “Pak Ogah” who did not have a permanent job and considered it an
opportunity that could be exploited and made money in return for traffic control
services. Some people think that Pak Ogah's actions are reluctant to disturb road users.
Pak Ogah's actions are clearly not justified by law. Pak Ogah can be subject to fines
and imprisonment. However, the existence of Pak ogah is difficult to eliminate, not
only because law enforcement is still weak, but also due to community participation to
prevent illegal levies which are still minimal. The formulation of the problem
summarized in this study is how the implementation of law enforcement, obstacles, and
efforts in overcoming the practice of Pak Ogah's activities in Pekanbaru City. The
purpose of this research is to find out the implementation of law enforcement against
Pak Ogah, to know the obstacles in enforcing Pak Ogah's practices, and to find out the
efforts made to overcome obstacles in law enforcement of Pak Ogah's practical
activities.
