        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The head of Grogol Petamburan Police Station,\nAKP Reza Aditya, has stated that the group of men who forcibly stopped\nand intended to search a car on Daan Mogot Street in Cengkareng, West\nJakarta, were police officers.<\/p>\n<p>Reza made this statement following a viral video on social media\nshowing a group of masked men dressed in all black intercepting a car on\nSaturday afternoon (18\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe incident yesterday involved our personnel,\u201d Reza explained when\ncontacted by Kompas.com by phone on Monday (20\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy did it happen like that? Because our personnel received a report\nfrom a member of the public whose identity they did not wish to\ndisclose, suspecting a drug transaction or some other illegal activity,\u201d\nhe added.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the citizen\u2019s report, the officers on the scene intended to\nconduct an inspection and search of the suspected vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>However, Reza claimed that the driver refused and recorded the\nincident. As a result, the officers shouted at the driver.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why we conducted the search of the vehicle. But what happened\nwas that the person who uploaded the video was uncooperative. He was\nuncooperative and instead went viral with the video,\u201d Reza said.<\/p>\n<p>Because the driver insisted on not being inspected, and considering\nthe situation inside the vehicle, the police eventually released the\ncar.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, it was discovered that there was an underage child in the\nvehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Although the car has been released, Reza emphasised that the matter\nis not over and his side is pursuing the driver for clarification.<\/p>\n<p>In the widely circulated video recording, netizens highlighted the\narrogance of the officers, who appeared to be shouting, forcing the\ndriver to open the door, and one officer even boldly entering and\nsitting in the back seat of the car.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the procedure that seemed coercive, Reza justified it as a\nform of vigilance by the officers when facing a suspected criminal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also have to anticipate from our personnel\u2019s side. As you know,\nthe danger might come from inside the car, so we anticipate such things.\nThat\u2019s why, with the report from the public, we took that action,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>",
