MAK condemns the arrest of a motorist for refusing to be pushed off his side of the road by a VIP using the wrong side.

Why force yourself into somebody's private car unwanted? Intrusion to private property by force itself is a travesty &, therefore, ejection is not a crime. She was not assaulted. Removal ostensibly was made after refusing to disembark. The driver is a victim despite her gender.
