Ibagué family demands investigation into forceful traffic procedure

A family in Ibagué is demanding an investigation into a traffic enforcement procedure that took place between September 11 and 12 near the city's airport. The incident, which reportedly began over a fine regarding reflective gear worn by a motorcycle passenger, escalated into a physical struggle between a citizen and several officials.

The family alleges that the officials used excessive force, issued threats, and engaged in aggressive behavior. They are also questioning the legality of the motorcycle's impoundment and have requested a review of the official's actions, noting that audiovisual recordings of the event may be available to clarify the circumstances of the confrontation.
