Brilio.net - Recently, social media was shocked by a video showing a heated argument between a resident and a traffic police officer on patrol. This moment is thought to have occurred in North Sumatra.
The problem is that the resident was ticketed by the police for violating the rules. Uniquely, the motorist who was ticketed actually 'returned a ticket' to the police. This also made netizens wonder the cause of the residents' actions.
Reported by brilio.net from the Instagram account @henryyosodiningrat, Wednesday (17/7), the incident which allegedly occurred in the Medan area, North Sumatra, began when police officers ticketed a motorbike rider because he did not have a rearview mirror installed.

After checking the documents, it turned out that the resident's motorbike was in dead tax status. As a result, the police intended to ticket this driver. However, before he was ticketed, the resident realized that the police who had ticketed him had also made the same mistake as him.
"So this story is that the police ticketed a citizen who had no rearview mirror and his motorbike tax was off, it turns out the police were also carrying a motorbike whose tax was dead and there was no rearview mirror," explained the video upload.
As a result, residents protested on the side of the road and attracted the attention of passing motorists. In the video, it is said that the public cheered the police.
"Well, when the people were protesting, there was a fierce debate with the people cheering," added the video recorder.

The debate between police officers and residents who were protesting was also mediated by other police officers. Several police officers even helped bring order to the road which was already congested.
No updates have been received since the incident, until this writing was written, brilio.net was still investigating the ending of the viral ticketing incident between residents and police officers.
