Street Cowboys in the Capital

There is distrust of the law, society and the state. This distrust lets road users think they can do whatever they want because the road is seen as no man's land.

The action of street cowboys was again presented through a viral video of two black cars on the right lane of the Jagorawi Toll Road towards Jakarta on Sunday (18/9/2022). The attempt by the drivers to overtake each other ended after one of the drivers rolled down the windshield and pointed a gun at the other driver.

It was later discovered that the driver who pointed the gun was a member of the Indonesian Military (TNI) with the rank of captain. He drove the official car of the Defense Ministry (Kemenhan) during the incident.
