Kasatlantas Polrestabes Bandung Kompol Eko Iskandar showed evidence that was secured from eight teenagers who were reckless on the streets of Bandung/ANTARA

The eight teenagers who were arrested by the police because they were part of a reckless and dangerous gang on Jalan AH Nasution, Bandung City, were given various sanctions to provide a deterrent effect. Kasatlantas Polrestabes Bandung Kompol Eko Iskandar explained that the eight teenage members of the motorcycle group were all under 17 years old and were students in various schools. Therefore, officers cannot apply Article 311 of the Traffic and Highway Law (LLAJ) which regulates corporal punishment or fines for reckless motorists who are dangerous. Because the police apply other sanctions. First, said Eko, in the form of a ticket, then a motorcycle that is not equipped with documents and equipment, is detained for two months at the police station. "Then, Satintelkam Polrestabes Bandung will also provide special notes to themselves. And it will be listed immediately when making a SKCK (Police Certificate and Records)," said Eko Iskandar in Bandung, Antara, Tuesday, August 15. This, said Eko, was carried out by the police, because the actions of various motorized groups, which are commonly called motorcycle gangs, often occur in the city of Bandung and disturb public order and disturb the public. Other sanctions were present from the school of the teenagers concerned. The teaching staff for the SMA 17 Bandung Student Sector, Muslihin, explained that for students who came from school, the sanction given was severe sanctions, namely being returned to their parents (issued). The reason, said Muslihin, was that the school had made a written agreement on stamps with students when they first entered and were accepted with one of the articles prohibiting students from being involved in acts of violence, as well as motorcycle gangs. "Because this violates the law and is involved in motorcycle gangs, we impose sanctions on their parents (expelled from school). This is a commitment at the beginning," said Muslihin. Musrifah, the parents of one of the arrested teenagers, said that as a parent she had tried her best to keep children from falling into negative relationships, such as continuing to ask about the whereabouts of her child but it was not enough, therefore she expected further help from the police and schools. "To the police, we hope for his guidance so that our children can be better. To teachers at school, we ask for their education," said Musrifah. Eight members of the motorized group were arrested by the police after a video of a reckless motorist convoy on Jalan AH Nasution, Bandung City, went viral. Eko Iskandar explained that the gang, including eight people who were detained by the police, joined the convoy to celebrate 8Th Anniversary XTC Mandalajati. In a video circulating on social media, the perpetrators of the motorcycle convoy drove zig zag on the highway while unfurling the flag, even one motorbike driven by the gang went against the direction, endangering other motorists.

"When they arrived at the location, the convoy had disbanded. But at the XTC secretariat Mandalajati, there were eight teenagers who were still gathering. Finally, the officers secured them," said Eko.
