Viral Video: Dishub Official Accused of Illegally Stopping Truck, Demanding Money

A recent viral video circulating online shows a tense confrontation between a truck driver and an individual identified as a Department of Transportation (Dishub) official. The incident, which reportedly took place during daylight hours, captures the official stopping a large truck, despite the driver's assertion that such vehicles are typically permitted to pass at that time. The video, recorded by the truck driver, shows the official, dressed in an orange safety vest, engaging in a heated exchange. The driver can be heard questioning the sudden prohibition, stating, "Why all this time were big cars allowed to pass?" He further implies that the official might be soliciting money, with on-screen text overlays echoing this sentiment, stating "DAYTIME BEGGING" and "MONEY THERE." Adding to the complexity, the truck driver identifies his vehicle as belonging to a state-owned power plant (PLTU BUMN), emphasizing that it is "not just any company." The official is also seen recording the interaction, suggesting a mutual documentation of the event. The video has sparked widespread discussion regarding the enforcement of traffic regulations and the conduct of public officials.
