In Kuningan, the police began by implementing pre-emptive and preventive strategies in the Ciawigebang District. These efforts focused on educational socialization to build public awareness and patrols to maintain traffic discipline and address noise complaints. Following these efforts, regional operations expanded to other areas such as Tasikmalaya and Surakarta. In Tasikmalaya, joint operations involving the police, TNI, and Satpol PP resulted in the seizure of 23 motorcycles to curb noise disturbances and prevent street crime. In Surakarta, authorities seized 47 motorcycles during midnight operations targeting illegal street racing, noting that the noise had disturbed residents and hospital patients. In these regions, riders are required to replace illegal exhausts with standard ones and pay fines to reclaim their vehicles. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-13: Indonesian police seize motorcycles with noisy exhausts in regional raids Police in Tasikmalaya and Surakarta have seized dozens of motorcycles with noisy exhausts to address public complaints regarding noise pollution and illegal street racing. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indonesian-police-seize-motorcycles-with-noisy-exhausts-in-regional-raids ### 2026-08-25: Kuningan Police target non-standard motorcycle exhausts Kuningan police are conducting patrols and educational campaigns in Ciawigebang to stop the use of noisy, non-standard motorcycle exhausts that disturb public peace. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kuningan-police-target-non-standard-motorcycle-exhausts --- Cite as: Indonesian police enforcement against noisy motorcycle exhau.
