        "summary": "Police in Ciracas Sector, East Jakarta, are pursuing restorative justice to resolve a case where a public transport driver smashed a car's window during a heated traffic dispute on Jalan Tanah Merdeka. The two suspects, identified as IK (31) and P (32), face charges under the new Criminal Code for property damage, potentially leading to up to six months in prison or a fine of Rp10 million, but mediation is prioritised if the victim agrees, highlighting a humane approach to minor offences without loss of life. This incident, which drew public attention, underscores efforts to encourage direct accountability and reconciliation over formal prosecution.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Ciracas Sector Police (Polsek) are opening the\nresolution of a car window damage case by a city transport (angkot)\ndriver on Jalan Tanah Merdeka, Ciracas, East Jakarta, through the\nrestorative justice (RJ) mechanism. \u201cFor now, we will carry out\nrestorative justice. Later, if possible and the victim does not wish to\nproceed with the report, it can be pursued through mediation,\u201d said the\nHead of Criminal Investigation Unit of Polsek Ciracas, AKP Hotma Sinaga,\nduring a press conference at Mapolsek Ciracas, East Jakarta, on\nThursday. According to Hotma, mediation between the perpetrator and the\nvictim can proceed as long as both parties agree to reconcile. Polsek\nCiracas is committed to prioritising a humane legal approach in handling\nthe case. However, the final decision remains with the victim as the\nreporter. \u201cBut if the victim demands it, of course we will process it\naccording to the applicable law,\u201d Hotma stated. The restorative justice\napproach is the prioritised option, especially since this case is\nclassified as a minor criminal offence and does not involve loss of\nlife. Through this mechanism, the perpetrator has the opportunity to\ntake direct responsibility to the victim, such as compensating for the\nloss, apologising, and committing not to repeat the act. Meanwhile, the\nvictim can consider resolution without a court process. The incident\nthat drew public attention occurred on Tuesday (21\/4) around 10:00 WIB.\nThe event stemmed from a traffic violation by the Depok\u2013Kampung Rambutan\nroute angkot (T-19). The situation then escalated into a chase on the\nroad. The tension peaked in front of a shopping centre in the Tanah\nMerdeka area, when the angkot blocked the victim\u2019s vehicle. At that\nlocation, a verbal altercation ensued. One of the perpetrators then got\nout and, without further ado, immediately smashed the car window until\nit broke. Based on the investigation results, the police successfully\nidentified two suspected perpetrators with initials IK (31) and P (32).\nBoth were known to be driving a red Daihatsu Grand Max vehicle with\nlicence plate B 1076 QO. The arrest was carried out by the Polsek\nCiracas Criminal Investigation team in the area in front of RSUD Pasar\nRebo while the perpetrators were driving the vehicle. From the initial\nexamination results, the police confirmed there was no indication that\nthe perpetrators were under the influence of alcohol at the time of the\nincident. The action was purely triggered by emotions due to the road\ndispute. For their actions, the perpetrators are charged under Article\n521 of Law Number 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code or Article 406 of the\nold Criminal Code regarding damage, with a maximum prison sentence of\nsix months or a fine of up to Rp10 million.<\/p>",
