"One day hundreds of vehicles can be raided. Last Tuesday (11 January), 539 motorcycles were netted. The most in Semarang City, 72 vehicles," said Kombes Agus in his statement, through a release received by VOI, Wednesday, January 12.

In connection with the Brong exhaust raid, the Head of Public Relations of the Central Java Police, Kombes Pol. M Iqbal Alqudusy stated that the activity was aimed at controlling the use of vehicles, especially two-wheeled motorcyclists.

"Those caught in raids, apart from being ticketed, are also required to replace the Brong exhaust with a standard exhaust after the trial," explained the Head of Public Relations.

He added that in addition to disturbing other road users and the community around the location, the Brong exhaust also violates Article 285 paragraph 1 of the traffic and road transportation law.

"Therefore, it is necessary to take decisive action, because at this time it is very disturbing. Many unscrupulous drivers feel dashing with the Brong exhaust, even though the Brong exhaust can endanger the driver himself because it does not comply with factory standards," he added.

Each vehicle, he continued, has gone through the testing and safety stages at the factory. The addition of accessories that are not standard can be dangerous.

"Therefore, for those who drive, remain obedient to traffic rules, prioritize safety, respect other motorists and always maintain public order while on the road," he concluded.
