Just want to hear stories so I can mentally prepare myself for such… hostile… interactions… (Hopefully this never happens to me)

P.S: And before anyone start spamming “Don’t Consent to searches”, remember that that’s a very democracy-centric viewpoint. In some countries you could be jailed for refusing.

      There are lazy cops for sure (not a Japan exclusive). The other side is you’ll note Japan has a high-90s-percentile conviction rate. To keep that, it seems like they try to also avoid anything that isn’t super secure for a conviction. It’s definitely a complex topic and my foreign ass only sees so much (and some posts by others, mainly foreigners).
