BANDAR LAMPUNG - The Lampung Regional Police (Polda) said the viral video on social media regarding police officers who had just pulled out of a dealership was not true.

"Yes, the video circulating, it is true that there was a ticketing process. But it is not true that our members in the field ticketed a motorbike which according to the video was a new motorbike, which just came out of the dealership," said Head of Public Relations of the Lampung Police, Kombes Zahwani Pandra Arsyad, quoted by ANTARA, Friday, June 24.

The incident began when a member of the Polantas Polresta Bandar Lampung, on behalf of Aiptu Toni Orlando, was carrying out a patrol from the Tugu Adipura Post to the traffic order area on Jalan Ahmad Yani.

Then when crossing Jalan Ahmad Yani, the member saw one of the two-wheeled vehicles committing a violation, namely without using a vehicle number plate, not using a mirror, and using a loud/noisy exhaust.

"Seeing the violation, our members overtook the vehicle, and immediately stopped it, in the yard of a motorcycle dealer on Jalan Ahmad Yani," he said.

After being examined, the vehicle was proven to have committed a traffic violation as regulated in Law no. 22 of 2009, including, firstly, the exhaust is loud/noisy and no mirrors are installed, violating Article 285 paragraph 1 in conjunction with 106 paragraph 3 and Article 48 paragraph 2 and paragraph 1 concerning technical requirements and roadworthiness.

Second, the driver's license (SIM) has expired, which violates Article 288 paragraph 2 in conjunction with Article 106 paragraph 5 concerning not being able to show a valid driver's license. Third, there is no sign of motorized vehicle number (TNKB) on the front and back of the vehicle, violating Article 280 in conjunction with Article 68 paragraph 1 concerning TNKB being invalid.

"Fourth, the color of the vehicle does not match the STNK, it violates Article 288 paragraph 1 in conjunction with Article 106 paragraph 5 letter a. With this violation the officer will take action in the form of a ticket," he said.

He also appealed to the public to be wiser in responding to the viral video with the title "the new motorbike came out of the dealer, ticketed by the police", and not to be easily provoked so that it creates negative perceptions.

Kombes Pandra also asked the public to comply with traffic rules by completing vehicle documents and completeness rules in accordance with the specifications of the motor used.

"Moreover, at this time we know that the Lampung Police are carrying out the 2022 Krakatau Obedience Operation, for 14 days from 13 to 26 June 2022," he said.

Previously on social media, a video circulated showing a young man and his female friend, who had just come out of a motorcycle dealer in Bandar Lampung, so it was as if he had bought a new motorbike and when he was about to leave the dealership, the vehicle was suddenly ticketed by the traffic police. .
