Yes, sweetie, it is fun but you should learn to behave yourself! Some people think they are still 10 and should do anything that brings them joy. You NEED to grow up, specially if you want to be cop!!

There should be a special section for police gropings and panty shoots.

When it comes to irony of the job, Japanese police almost never fails to disappoint.

I would love to see this guy berated by Jeff's wife on Curb Your Enthusiasm!

Why is his name withheld? Get caught lifting a pack of gym from the combini and your name and nationality go in the news. Is it just because he's a cop? Double standards indeed! I'm sure he will be severely scolded by his mum and be back at work by the end of the week.

I haven't seen it on the news once, except here in print. He should be publicly reprimanded for his actions and his face across the TV so everybody knows what a disgrace he is to the uniform.

Again?
Are these guys competing? Are they sharing "intelligence"?

J-cops at their finest, yet again.

A severely confused policeman with upskirt voyeurism which is a psychosexual disorder. He cannot control his passion, committed a crime, and needs professional help. Once released he should be registered as a sex-offender then have him undergo psychosexual evaluation and adhere to any resulting recommendation. Unfortunately the prognosis for eliminating voyeurism is poor because most voyeurs have no desire to change their sickening and perverted behavior.

For guys: it's just panties; don't go gaga for it.
For gals: it's just panties; don't go gaga of it.

"he got a thrill from seeing women's underwear"
He would have been real disappointed if she wasn't wearing any underwear.

?..and didn't they JUST print a big article about how they were going to pass a law somewhere about this sort of thing? "Crack down " , blah, blah, blah, and yet ANOTHER J-Cop gets arrested for it!

why is the whole panti photo thing a big deal anyway.. cant see anyones face anyway... if its something that bothers you that much, dont wear ultra mini or wear hot pants under it like most people do, guys dont wear huge see thru briefs on the street do they... the whole attention on the subject makes no sense whatsoever
Elbuda Mexicano
Not too sure what to say, maybe Serrano is right, young ladies should not bother with underwear so these pervo cops will not be doing this in the train station escalators etc...
YuiYuri
PERVERT!!!
SanshinMaster
Are these stories real or do they just change the date and repost???
Richard bHard
(sarcasm)I am sure this is all a big misunderstanding! Why I bet the officer in question was actually working UNDERCOVER to bust unsuspecting UP-SKIRT picture takers,and what better way to bust them than posing as one,we should be ashamed of ourselves for thinking this cop would STOOP to such a level. (sarcasm)

My thoughts exactly. I know that there are bad, even perverted cops, everywhere in the world, but the Japanese ones are truly in a league of their own!
Skeeter27
I have a great idea for Japan Today, They make a new section just for "police in trouble"
I'm sure it will be one of the most popular and frequented sections!!
CoconutE3
One word describes Japanese police "pathetic".
Mirai Hayashi
This happens a lot now. Do they not learn from their colleague's mistakes?

Oh, victim blaming I see! How about instead of telling girls what they can and cannot wear, how about telling dudes to stop being creepy perverts?
sensei258
Is this even news anymore?
lostrune2
If the girl's cute obviously.
Qamar
Maybe, maybe..they're in reality on a secret mission, to find out what kind of underwear high school girls wear!
ka_chan
Maybe I wrong but this seems to be an epidemic in Japan as opposed to other countries.

"The suspect was quoted by police as saying he got a thrill from seeing women’s underwear. "
So do I but I don't mind waiting till they show me, and the operative word here is 'women'.
Alex Einz
inverse - yes victim blaming.. whats wrong ? if you skirt short enough to see your panties thru then its your problem. next women will be saying its ok for us to go naked but you cant take picture or look at us... you seem to be lost in radical feminism.
