The criminal justice system is conducted through bureaucracy, with hope that law enforcement can proceed smoothly, efficiently and responsibly. However, this does not apply in the settlement of narcotics cases. The research method used to solve the problem is the approach toward law as law in action.

The Team works through a bureaucracy and procedures. Regulation as the legal basis for the work of assessment teams which are unclear, overlapping, and bad behavior of law enforcement apparatus. It resulted in the assessments that oftentimes are being formally defective, so that the result cannot be used by the court as evidence. This fact indicates that the workings of the law through the bureaucracy cannot be separated from bureaucratic failure.
