Posted in: Are Japanese police really as incompetent as readers on Japan Today make them out to be? See in context
I am not exactly sure how Japan Today has made the police out to be, but I have talked with many foreigners that have been harassed by the police for unbelievably minor infractions. For example, being arrested and fingerprinted for having a 2.54 cm (1-inch) craft cutter used for work under the seat of a motorbike-considered a "concealed weapon." Or being arrested and held overnight for kicking a Japanese intruder from a 2nd floor window, considering the thief the victim and the gaijin that defended himself as the criminal. Pretty incompetent police.
