A man slipped out of the ropes tying him to a seat in an interrogation room at a Tokyo police station. He was soon recaptured, but again he managed to free himself from handcuffs inside the station. Police were powerless to hit him with further charges because of a legal loophole.
Keep that in mind when they arrest you for suspected fooliganism - it's okay to escape.
Student arrested for posting terror threats on Net under name of bin Laden
I find it very hard to believe that a minor ie. aged under 20 in Japans case would have good enough English to convincingly fool anybody to thinking they were Bin Laden. What did the post exactly say? "I ammu Been Raden, I kill Tokyo Towa, i have ever had biggu bommu, big bangu ne". Once again the Keystone cops were fooled no doubt!Saitama cops let scores of teen criminals run free
SAITAMA -- Saitama's "Keystone Kops" prefectural police ignored scores of crimes committed by teen-agers in the late '90s and into the new millennium, the Mainichi has learned. Statutes of limitations for prosecution were allowed to lapse or perpetrators permitted to move into adulthood and escape punishment in 66 cases within the prefecture from 1997 to 2000. Saitama police last month punished five officers involved in failing to pursue 37 of the 66 cases, while a probe continues into why the remaining 29 were not pursued
a woman was out and about when suddenly she started screaming at the top of her lungs, someone had snatched her bag, you see. Now the police, far from their usual policy of waiting for two weeks before checking anything out, actually arrived at the scene as the woman was still a-screaming. (Perhaps she was near a koban or police box, which is not, as the name might suggest, a law enforcement protective, rather it is a little box-like shed found next to most railway staions where the police can relax after a long morning's doing nothing by drinking coffee). I digress, so the local coppers turn up, at which point the woman stops her screaming and, pointing, shouts 'it was him'. Keystone Cops-like our intrepid heroes turn and apprehend the larcenous individual. This proves to be a 68 year old gentleman laden with shopping bags in both hands - hardly the type to have just snatched a ladies handbag, seeing as he doesn't have a ladies handbag on his person and couldn't carry anything more anyway, let alone run, the favoured modus operandi of bag snatchers, or so I am led to believe.
Pleased with themselves, the coppers drag the bewildered shopper back to the screaming woman, only to find her gone, with out so much as a by your leave and leaving not a trace. 'Oh well', think they, 'but at least we got our man'. So they drag said man back to the koban, on, you remember, a hysterical accusation by a now disappeared woman. Unfortunately the chap, obviously not used to this sort of thing, is now bewildered and extremely stressed which, I'm afraid to say, pushes his dicky ticker into overdrive, giving him a massive coronary and leading, very shortly, to his untimely death.
All very sad, but what makes it worse is the fact that the police refuse to apologise for anything. Apparently they had a suspect who had been identified and accused by a victim and that, sadly, is good enough for them. Doesn't matter that the 'victim' has disappeared, or the chap was an elderly gent laden down with shopping, or most importantly, for the chap at least, that he died in police custody. Nope, he was obviously guilty, so they got him.
Well, I did not think I was good at politics!!! But, I would say that the Amber Alert system has proven to be a great public support system and yes, I do think knowing who lives in your neighborhood is important.
