A high school student who wears a veil due to a medical condition was stopped and verbally abused by a police officer, who asked him if he was a member of the Taliban, it's been learned.
Tottori police apologized for the officer's actions at the Tottori Prefectural Assembly on Friday, saying the officer acted and behaved inappropriately.
The 18-year-old student, who attends a high school in the Tottori Prefecture city of Sakaiminato, suffers from porphyria, a condition which causes pain when his skin is exposed to sunlight.
The officer from Yonago Police Station stopped the boy as he was riding double on a bicycle near JR Yonago Station on Oct. 28 last year, accusing him of being "strangely-dressed" and asking him, "Are you a Taliban member?"
The chief of the prefectural police headquarters later admitted that he was stopped because the veil looked suspicious, not because he was riding double.
The head of Yonago Police Station apologized to the student and his family, and the prefectural police headquarters reportedly sent a DVD explaining the condition to all police stations...

http://www.japantoday.com/category/crime/view/police-capture-fugitive-on-run-since-escape-from-ibaraki-police-stationA 24-year-old man who escaped from the Mito police station last Friday after the officer questioning him drank tea laced with sedatives and fell asleep, was captured at around 5 a.m. Thursday, police said.
Naoto Tsuge, an unemployed man and resident of Naka City, was arrested for attempted theft on April 16, accused of breaking into a car to steal the personal belongings inside. He was being questioned by a 30-year-old officer on the second floor of the Mito police station on April 24, when the officer fell asleep. Tsuge escaped from the room after applying force to the metal bars covering the window.
Two empty packets of sedatives were found in the room and traces of the sleep-inducing agent were found in the teapot the officer drank from.
Tsuge was placed on a nationwide wanted list and was arrested on Thursday after being found in the garage of a residence in Mito City at around 5 a.m, police said.

Police have come under fire for allowing the suspect to escape. A police spokesman said Saturday that the officer on the scene who called for backup was only gone for about three minutes and that the suspect must have left through the back door during that time.

A policeman was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of stealing undergarments from a 14-year-old girl while visiting her house to question her about a crime she had witnessed, police said.
Arrested was Yuki Miyamoto, 26, a policeman from Aboshi Police Station in Hyogo Prefecture.
According to the police, at about 1:50 p.m. Saturday, Miyamoto went to the second-year middle school student's house in Himeji in the prefecture, to question her about a case of public indecency she had witnessed earlier the same day.
Miyamoto is believed to have entered the student's room and stolen about 25 items of underwear.
The student told police that when she was about to take a bath, she noticed her underwear was missing. Her mother reported the theft to the police.
The police questioned Miyamoto about the incident on the same day. They said Miyamoto has admitted to the allegations.
"It's inexcusable that a uniformed policeman committed a crime during the course of duty," Junichi Wada, head of the Hyogo prefectural police's office of personnel supervision said. "In addition to investigating the facts, we'll deal strictly [with this matter]."

That means only 2 years of whatever equates to an education in criminology and police academy training etc. after getting out of high school.
Gives me just that much more faith in the local keystones.
