Obscure celeb Aron Ashab posts selfie with policeman after escaping traffic ticket, gets bullied on social media

Aron Ashab, right, points towards the police officer who let him off

Aron Ashab, some sort of teen actor no one’s really ever heard of, is being bullied on social media for escaping a traffic ticket yesterday.

Aron, who rode on a motorcycle without wearing a helmet, was stopped by a traffic policeman. Fortunately for Aron, the officer recognized him from that one obscure movie he was in and decided not to hand Aron a traffic ticket. Instead, Aron took a selfie with the officer and posted the photo on his Instagram.

 If I have to be a victim because I want to show the flaws in Indonesian law (in this case traffic laws), then so be it. #darkknight – Please fix this @irjokowidodo (President Joko Widodo) and @ahok_btp (Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama)

It must be noted that Aron initially wrote an entirely different photo description in which he probably tried to be funny but came off sounding like a smug, self-entitled butthole. Thankfully, a screenshot of the original photo description is available online.

 [I was about to] get ticketed during Operation Zebra/Lilin. We took the ‘peaceful route’ because he (the police officer) knew me. “You’re Aron Ashab,” [the officer said], to which I replied, “See, you know. How can I wear a helmet sir, it could mess up my spiky hair and I won’t be Aron Ashab anymore!!” So in the end we made peace without giving him any money 😛 #kemudianselfie (and then we took a selfie)

Many people took to social media to condemn Aron, including Indonesia’s Minister of Defense, Ryamizard Ryacudu.

 @Ryamizard_R That’s how it’s supposed to be RT @freddy_ggmu who cares if you’re Sahab or a pig, the law is the law.

 

 It’s ok that Aron Ashab wasn’t wearing a helmet because he was wearing kneepads. So if he fell he wouldn’t get a brain injury

Aron is receiving such a huge backlash on social media for his Instagram post. But the question is, who the hell is this kid and why is he famous?

Who’s Aron Ashab? All I know is Aaron Carter and his parted hair.

One thing’s for sure: Aron’s popularity is surely skyrocketing after all of this.
