In\nhis assessment, the guard\u2019s actions were appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>Pramono said he had reviewed several CCTV recordings to obtain a\nclear picture of the chronology of events on Wednesday afternoon\n(22\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>After learning the sequence of events that led the guard to strike\nthe Alphard, which had jumped the lights at a pelican crossing, he\njudged that the guard should not be sanctioned with dismissal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirstly, regarding the security guard\u2019s fate, I will request that he\nis not sacked or dismissed. In fact, the person concerned was actually\ncarrying out his duties very well,\u201d he said at Jakarta City Hall on\nFriday (24\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>According to the PDIP politician, the Alphard driver was the party\nthat first committed the traffic violation. As a result, the guard, who\nwas about to cross at the pelican crossing, struck the car\u2019s window in\nfrustration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt can be seen that it was the Alphard that committed the\nviolation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Pramono also said he had received information that the number plates\nused by the Alphard were fake. For that reason, he believes it is the\ndriver who ought to be sanctioned.<\/p>",
