A Japanese police officer holds a bullhorn as he announces pedestrians that police will conduct voluntary body searches during the World Cup in Tokyo's Roppongi entertainment district on Thursday night, the eve of the opening of the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan.
Police will mobilize about 2,000 riot police to the district where many soccer fans from all over the world are expected to hang out following major soccer matches during the May 31-June 30 period.
Fuckers. They can voluntarily kiss my gaijin ass. If they`re looking for weapons, why don`t they go to Kabukicho and try searching people there? Of course, it would be illegal to search Japanese and they know it. And yes, it is illegal for foreigners as well, unless you happen to be doing something which appears criminal. This is a bunch of racial BS.
