JAKARTA - On the social media scene, videos of people getting angry, cursing the officers against the rules of the homecoming isolation. After the video went viral, the perpetrators who were arrogant towards the officers apologized.

The angry motorists should follow up on the emotional action of the angry motorists by taking action. The goal is to create a deterrent effect.

There are two examples of arrogant travelers. First, Hesti and Raminto. They were violated for insulting the officer with harsh words when being reprimanded and asked to turn back.

Their arrogant action took place at the homecoming restriction post at the Border of Bogor Regency and Sukabumi Regency.

Then, another arrogant action was carried out by a woman named Gustuti Rohmawati. He went viral on social media for scolding officers at the South Ring Road intersection, Ciwandan, Cilegon intersection post.

In fact, the officers are only carrying out their duties to reverse the motorists who are going to Carita.

Clinical psychologist Kasandra Putranto said that from these two cases, sanctions were imposed on travelers who were arrogant when they were prohibited, so that there would be no more similar cases.

"There must be consequences because there must be a penalty so that there is a deterrent effect," said Kasandra to VOI, Tuesday, May 18.

This sanction is to prevent the public's mindset that can underestimate the warning from the officer. Violators, including obstructing officers, should be punished so that they become an example for other communities to obey the rules.

"If there is no snare effect, there will be similar things. (If there is no sanction) just apologize after that is over," he said.

On the other hand, Kasandra also said that there are several factors that influence or encourage their arrogant actions. For example, related to intellectual intelligence.

"What is intellectual intelligence? Do you understand that in a pandemic situation there is a government ban, there are legal consequences, it is considered intellectual intelligence," said Kasandra.

Then, other factors, namely emotional and social intelligence. These two factors are also very influential on the attitude of the travelers.

"Emotional intelligence is how a person can control himself. Social intelligence is the ability to understand the understanding of social norms, it may not be like this or that. Legal norms, religious norms," he said.
