Yes. Not surprising because the Japanese law system is very different from the U.S. law system.

It’s not about being innocent until proven guilty. It’s about allowing someone enough rope to hang themselves and then going to pick them up when they commit the crime. And coercing them into a confession.

Culturally, here’s what happens.
First off, there’s very little concept of privacy in Japan. Everybody is ALWAYS in your business. Even if they may act like they aren’t out of politeness (which is rare).
So when you do something outta pocket, nearly 8000 people will come to tell you about it to discourage you. From the little old lady at the grocery store to your boss, parents, random firefighter, old guys playing Go. Even the most seemingly random stranger you meet, will turn into a potential agent if they see you on the path of fukkery that could impact others.
On some Matrix type shyt. Everybody is an agent.

Self-harm is fine and a private affair. But when your fukkery leaves your own personal sphere, that’s when the agents activate and start to intervene.

So you’ll have a swarm trying to discourage you from bad behavior and also tracking your behavior from the 1st to the last fukk up until BAM!, you reach the point of no return and by then…aint no need to prove anything b:c they were trying to talk you down all along. And by that time it’s a wrap. Aint nobody gotta prove shyt.

But also sentencing is light and remorseful confessions can impact sentencing a lot so there’s that. There are some other factors but culturally, unless you are Yakuza affiliated, snitching culture makes it hard to get away.



..... Yeah I'm good on Japan :mjlol:

I'll just visit South Korea and South East Asia instead :mjgrin:

Homie got mad at his girl in Tokyo, beat up a vending machine and had to spend a few days in jail. He said it was hell.
Yeah Japanese prison is a unique blend of psychological and physical torture aimed at rehabilitation.

If you’ve ever played Dragon Age Inquisition and know the lore, think Quanari culture. They be “re-educating” mofos in Japanese prison.

You’ll be fine. I was obnoxiously drunk coming home at 4am. Hitching rides with utter strangers, planting and opening random Mario question mark boxes in the city. Walking around with LOADS of yen on me. Singing with mall dancers and street rappers in the middle of the night…poking gang members trying to get them to smile.:russ::lolbron::mjlol::pachaha:As long as you literally ain’t selling drugs, tryin to rob anybody or do illegal shyt I don’t think you’ll have an issue.

Just wrap it up b/c chicks will be choosing if you a 6ft, 6 figure Coli breh.:francis: And cover any tattoos.

Cases are dropped if they think it's bullshyt. Also we need to ask ourselvesh, How many defendants does the federal government successfully convict? Data published by the Pew Research Center in 2019 highlighted how federal prosecutors have a 99.6% conviction rate. To put those numbers in perspective, U.S. Attorneys filed 79,704 cases in 2018. Of those, only 320 resulted in acquittals.Apr 19, 2021

If the goverment has enough evidence to take you to trial then it's a wrap. Good lawyers make sure you never see the courtroom.
