35 Comments

Police in Kagawa Prefecture said Tuesday they have arrested a 46-year-old police sergeant for using a spy camera attached to his shoe to film up a woman's skirt.

According to police, the suspect, identified as Kozo Shirakawa, was arrested after secretly filming up a 23-year-old woman's skirt at a department store in Takamatsu at around 4:40 p.m. on Sunday. NTV quoted police as saying that Shirakawa had attached a spy camera to the inside of his right shoe and then filming through a tiny hole in the leather shoe.

Shirakawa, who has admitted to the charge, was arrested after a suspicious department store security guard reported his behavior to police.

Nothing will change until they make this kind of pathetic pererted behavior a serious offense. This perve will get a pay cut, a slap on the wrist and be back at work next week. I've caught and seen quite a few oyajis with their phones stuck up girls' skirts on the escolator, but from past experience I won't attempt to apprehend them. The first time I did I spent fours being interrogated by the flops, while the guy I caught was let go within 30 minutes. It seems that, catching a perve is a more serious offense than being one.

Police misconduct on a daily basis. This is disgusting. The case of a security guard doing a better job than the cop.

And so it continues, another pervy cop to add to the list...

"The devil will find work for idle hands to do" is an expression that perfectly applies to all of these pathetic J-cops.

Such ingenuity. Pity it couldn't be used to catch criminals.

Again? How many times has this happened in the last 6 months. Don't these idiots ever learn?

Everybody needs a hobby.

I think women should start wearing cameras on their backs that record who is behind them. When they review the film and see a guy who is acting weird they can edit the film and then put it on YouTube to shame them. Tit-for-tat, you know.

I sometimes wonder if being a perv is a job requirement.

He put a lot of work to do this, I hope he faces an attorney with the same amount purpose to send him away for a very long time.

Maybe Japanese (especially Japanese police) need to be pointed out that there loads of mostly free porn which has this content and they pretend its non-consensual and get the same thrill legally.

Have we met this month's quota yet for J-police blunders? Not yet? Still time for another then. Yokatta. I'm sure I'll need another laugh by the end of the month.

Excuse me, why are you catching me? I am one of the 20,000 new recruits under training to be a futuristic spy-cop! My superior is just standing at the bottom of the escalator giving us a briefing on how to go about it.

Now get lost and let me continue with my new assignment please!

PC Plod needs a new pair of shoes!

Idiot!

What an idiot! I would've loved to have seen this guy at work though, he must've looked so sketchy!

I don't suppose the MPD will take a hint and get started with some kind of attitude corrective measures anytime soon? This should be turning into a PR nightmare for everyone involved, but no one seems to give a care?

He needs more training. How is he gonna be good at stake-outs, stings, and undercover missions if a security guard could easily see thru his cover?! At least pick a cute one. /sarcasm

Keisatsu and upskirt filming, either seperately or together, a regular feature in the crime section.

Once again a J-Cop shows his worth.

I know this is wrong but I laughed at the idea it's like something out of a cartoon. But it is terrible.

"The devil will find work for idle hands to do"

But he was using Holey shoes!

How did he get caught?

If the department store security guard is so suspicious, maybe he should be investigated too.

Anyway I just don’t get the craze with up-skirt shots. Who cares what is under there? People who do really need to be taken in, so glad he got caught.

Idiot. You cant even trust the police these days.

Looks like the department store security guard would make a better cop.

It would be funny if Victoria Secret sold undies with a happy face or a rude hand gesture or the words.. " I am watching you".

What is it with Japanese pervs and upskirt photos? Why doesn't he just go to a beach in summer and see as many young women in bikini bottoms as he wants without resorting to comedy spy tech gadgets.

This is a terrible, horrible crime right up there among the worst of crimes anyone can do.

Of course the crime is genetic and only comes from the genetics of being a man. Perhaps these MEN should be removed from society permanently and surely a genetic test will reveal who these men are and we will be able to prevent them becoming police.
