According to Nara prefectural police, the incident occurred at around 5:30 p.m. Saturday as the teenage girl was on an escalator at Kintetsu Goido Station.
Police the officer, who hasn’t been named, was behind the girl. While he was using his smartphone to film up her dress, another man saw what was going on and grabbed him. The suspect was handed over to station authorities who called police.

This is happening so often these days you can just copy and paste the article from the last time.
Merely change name, age and rank of officer involved.
Possibly add a dumb excuse from the officer.

Will he be charged with breaking the social distancing rules too?

Disillusioned,
Great comment.
Pity they don't get irony or satire here.

For a long time, I've lobbied for JT to include a section for crimes committed by police officers.

JT needs a special category just for police malfeasance.

Sorry Pukey2, I missed your post. I’ve been proposing the same thing myself for ages and I’m sure there are plenty of others.

No worries. The more we speak up, the more JT may listen to us!

Business as usual with Kansai Cops.
Great idea!

Don't these clowns have an internet connection to get their jollies? They need to be told that we do not used dial up any more.

Can understand the urge, but come on - on an escalator??

Why on Earth? With Hi Res pron just a couple of clicks away - or so a friend told me!

Police officer not any longer. FIRED, goodby pension. Too late in the game for his age and failed his assigned duties. What an embarrassment to the entire police force of Japan.

Ive seen Japanese guys doing this allot on trains but I cant figure out what they get off on...is it a sick mind Akihabara kind of thing? I mean does he have a fantasy about a girlie group or watch the vid latter? Ive seen them put those weird manga girl stickers that cover the whole car also. what a weird place.

This police officer is old enough (and educated enough) to know better. How about JT including a section for crimes committed by Big Dummies instead?

Like i said in another post, “business as usual”

The logic behind this just makes no sense. Was this really worth throwing away your career? This is just mindboggling and should never have happened. Especially from a cop.

If she hadn't worn such a short skirt, he wouldn't have been so tempted. Really now, how can the officer be the only one to blame here? His urge, as another poster said, is totally understandable.

Sometimes we need police protection and a lot of times we need protection from the police.
Mocheake
I am pretty sure you are being sarcastic, but, anyway, as a man I can sometimes understand the urge, however I can't condone the act.

Rotten cops and ridiculous perversion. Upskirting mystifies me - pointless and so lame.
Aly Rustom
I'll say
Pukey2
I agree. JT are you listening?
Andrew Crisp
Cant wait to see the excuse - possibly looking evidence.

That is the second article on sexual scandals involving police today. JT, are you trying to wean us off Coronavirus news? It's working!
Mirai Hayashi
why does this keep happening? Society is sick!
Chip Star
We obviously shard a friend!

That pic better be worth it
sir_bentley28
Uh....yeah! You can also download videos from the internets for free without breaking any laws or doing what this police man did.....my....my friend told me that too.
