raffic police officers from East Tanjung Jabung in Jambi received praise on social media after a video of them went viral on Monday. The video showed the officers assisting residents who were transporting the dead body of their relative on a motorcycle.
The officers stopped the residents because they thought they saw three adults riding on a motorcycle, which is a traffic violation. But the police officers were surprised to find that one of the adults was actually dead. The dead body was wearing a helmet.
Instead of ticketing the riders, the police helped them and carried the dead body to their patrol car and took it to a funeral home.

He said the officers had initially thought that the person was just sick, but when they looked closer, they realized the person was dead. (kmt)
