He cant be a terrorist, he's Japanese. Keep on harassing gaijin for ID, while these clowns drive into crowds and get out thrashing blades, or drive flammable laden vehicles into public buildings. Wheres the priorities? Wake up dumb J cops.

Sarge, i should have said percieved language barrier. Its a myth over here among locals far and wide tht foreigners cant speak Japanese because its too 'difficult', and common excuse for the japanese shortfall in results compared to effort expended on learning english.

I speak Japanese, but every time i encounter a cop they assume i cant, and in the event of a language barrier, panic, and respond in inappropriate ways, unnecesssary manhandling like neeses case for example. Typical ignorance of the majority of stupid useless beat cops here.

Its obscenely misleading, but its easy to cut thru the BS, just rock up and say, give me the full prices. surely thatd be simpler for staff to have them listed in full up front!?

The total fares however, arent gonna improve, just like driving isnt gonna get cheaper...

This is unbelievably stupid. How many people have these clowns had locked up in the same period of time? Japanese cops and customs officials parading around harassing foreigners or just outright setting them up for falls like this case, and politicians spruiking about foreign crime waves, and who is it…

irosharu, are you saying because Debito's motives arent 100 percent pure (I know the guy, and a few people who support his activism actively, and i'll admit to that) that he should sit down shut up take whatever treatment Japan gives him? Thats the undertone of a lot of posters…
