Police vs. Prostitutes - Who are the real criminals here?

Question: What's the difference between a cop in the vice squad and a guppy?
Answer: One is a scum sucking bottom dweller and the other is a fish.


Police vs. Prostitution. The police spend our tax monies stopping prostitutes from plying their trade in a free exchange of business between two consenting adults. Is anyone hurt in this exchange? Is this is what we pay taxes for?


In Japan, we have nuclear accidents, the economy going down the crapper, unemployment, Japan's credit rating taking a hit, deflation... We have all this sh*t hitting the fan and those idiots in the government and the police are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars setting up sting operations at prostitution parlors to arrest a few people doing some business that hurts no one.


What a bunch of morons.


The oldest profession in the world and these clowns think they can stop it with police sting operations and arresting people. If you think this is a good idea, then you do deserve to be taxed to death because you are a moron too!

Rio Hamasaki and this article's gratuitous cheesecake photo. 

She poses nude & appears in porn films for money. 

Why is this not considered prostitution?

Get that? The fools in government and their idiot police squads are spending thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of our tax dollars surveying and spying on business that spend their time trying to make a buck pulling on the puds of Joe Average Japanese guy. And, if these people - that includes male or female prostitutes - jack off these customers, what damage does it do to you or me? How does it inflict harm on society?


Compare that with the damage it does to you or me by having hundreds of thousands of dollars of YOUR TAX MONEY spent on this sh*t by the tax feeders who "work" in the police force. Can't those people go out and get real jobs?


Probably not.


What a bunch of stupid jerks. Why does the average Japanese person put up with this waste of tax monies?


As always the excellent Tokyo Reporter has the story sans commentary:

In the late evening of May 31, police officers entered a bar in Tokyo’s Minami Koiwa district and discovered a hostess to be engaged in a bit more than pleasant conversation with a male customer.

Upon their entry, the completely naked 39-year-old female quickly pushed her client off of her and grabbed a towel. She then moved over to a sofa, where she sat in despair as officers ordered her to put on clothing.


I'm sure they didn't order her to put on her clothing "immediately!"

According to weekly tabloid Shukan Jitsuwa (June 23), the bar San-nen A-gumi (3年A組), possibly named after the famous TV drama series “San-nen B-gumi Kinpachi-sensei” (３年Ｂ組金八先生), had been under surveillance for an extended period.


Voyeurism is a crime, but not if the police do it. "...Under surveillance for an extended period"? Indeed.  

Members of the Metropolitan Police Department’s safety division and the Koiwa Police Department arrested the establishment’s owner, Hakudo Sato, 31, and four employees for violating the Anti-Prostitution Law. Perhaps most interesting was that one woman who was taken into custody came to Tokyo from Miyagi Prefecture following the devastation of the Great East Japan Earthquake.


Do these idiot police think that arresting this club's boss and four women (who are basically, most probably, unemployable in any other job) will stop prostitution in this country? Don't these clowns have any brains to think for themselves? If some woman from Sendai (that was majorly f'ed up because of the earthquake and tsunami) wants to sell her time for some cash, then who cares what she does? Is it hurting you or me?


Do these jerks in the police and government think that spending hundreds of thousands of dollars setting up a sting operation for some shitty dive prostitution parlor is going to somehow help this country with its problems? Why don't we spend this tax money on something important like enforcing the new laws on making school teachers sing the national anthem? Now there's a good use of tax dollars!


Are these idiot policemen such stupid and ill conceived drones that they cannot see that what they are doing is foolish and a waste of their time and our taxes?


What a bunch of turds!


How about this, smart guy policeman? Consider:


Some guy goes into this place of business. He pays a woman ¥4000 for whatever it is he pays for (a back massage and a few drinks). Suddenly, lightening strikes! Inexplicably, the two magically fall in love (don't tell me that its never happened to you) - and they make love (have sex). After the sex and mating process is over, they converse for a few minutes and realize for whatever reason, that they are not good partners for matrimony (don't tell me that its never happened to you) so they break up...


And those idiot police want to arrest them for,... what? Sex between two consenting adults?!  


Gosh darn! No wonder we are all f'ed up and the economy is going to hell. We have complete and total idiots running the government....

KEVIN BACON - "THANK YOU SIR, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?"

Not only that, but average Joe-blow votes for these politician clowns and those politicians frequent prostitution parlors (anyone who thinks they don't is living in the past) that are not targeted for stings due to political considerations.


Average person! Bend over and take it in the ass!


"Thank you sir, may I have another!"


So, I ask you, when it comes to the police vs. the prostitutes - who do you think the real criminals are here?  

Police Start Shooting Protestors in Spain w/Rubber Bullets- Still Not News in Japan

Astounding. The peaceful demonstrations in Spain are over. The people have begun beating people and shooting them with rubber bullets. As usual, Japanese news is eerily silent on the matter. What's going on here? 

THE CLASH - REVOLUTION ROCK

Google reports that the government has sent in police in Barcelona with truncheons and they are beating peaceful demonstrators and shooting them with rubber bullets. Google reports:

Police fire rubber bullets at protesters in Barcelona

BARCELONA — Spanish police fired rubber bullets and swung truncheons to disperse anti-crisis protesters in a Barcelona square Friday as cleaning crews cleared their tent camp.

Catalan police in anti-riot gear moved in after about 50 protesters sat down on the street to block a convoy of cleaning trucks leaving the Plaza de Cataluna square with remnants of the encampment.

Police, some with plastic shields, were shown on television dragging protesters along the street and swiping with truncheons at activists, who had been chanting: "They shall not pass."

An AFP reporter at the scene saw rubber bullets fired.

The protest blockade was broken up within minutes but about 100 protesters regrouped in the square. They were surrounded by two police cordons blocking hundreds more people from entering from nearby roads.

Demonstrators chanted: "The people, united, will never be defeated!" and "No to violence!"

Cleaning crews with 10 lorries dismantled the last of the tents under police surveillance. Later, police left the square and let thousands of demonstrators flood in.

By the evening, at least 5,000 people were in the square protesting against the police intervention, some having put up tents. A dozen police vehicles were in streets leading to the square.

"What happened today was awful but it is a warning" for the country's leadership, said Ramon Deltran, 50, a psychiatrist.

I predict that this situation is going to seriously escalate and, like I wrote on May 21 in Massive Anti-Government Protests in Spain Spreading to Italy! No Mention at all in Japanese Press, the exact same thing is going on now! 

Ultimately, unemployment, taxes and austerity measures have caused these huge demonstrations that are, as one protester said, "... against the criminal behavior of the central bankers and IMF. Taking tax money from the people and giving it to rich bankers have finally made the people take to the streets...."

Yet, this news is nowhere to be found in the Japanese news services in English or in Japanese.

I predict that this demonstration in Spain will collapse the Spanish government.

There's no way unemployment or the situation with government debt, which will lead to higher taxes and more austerity measures in Spain is going to go away anytime soon, so these demonstrations are going to go on. The government, by taking a heavy hand are just escalating the situation. They are toast.

But, once again, not a word about it in the Japanese press! I checked both Yahoo! Japan and NHK and cannot find any mention of this news!

Here's a screen capture of NHK news site:

......Nothing about police shooting people with rubber bullets in Barcelona Spain. How about Yahoo! Japan?

Well, what do you know!? Yahoo! Japan does come through and has a story about Barcelona! (Marked in red)... Yippee... Er, well, not exactly about demonstrations and the police rousting people out like the Nazi Gestapo, but about how some soccer team from Barcelona won a soccer championship for the fourth time beating Manchester United..... .....Yawn!

Unemployment in Spain is the highest in the EU at over 21%, the entire country is about to go bankrupt and these stupid people care about who wins some professional sports title? Are you kidding me? Morons. 

Who was it that wrote something about "Bread and Circuses for the masses"? 

Never Try to Outrun a Japanese Motorcycle Cop

The title says it all: Never Try to Outrun a Japanese Motorcycle Cop. Seriously. Don't even think about it. You're not going to get away.

They call them "Shiro-bai" (White bikes) in Japan. They are the motorcycle cops. They are not your friends...

No. They are (like most cops) not out to make the roads or society safer; they are out to give you tickets and collect fines.

Actually, I tried once to out run a motorcycle cop in Japan. I made an illegal right turn on a street in Yokohama and, out of the corner of my rear-view mirror, I saw a cop running to get on his bike.

I made some very quick turns on some very narrow streets and I thought, "He is never going to catch me!" What an idiot I was! That guy was on on top of my ass like light-speed!

These Japanese motorcycle cops can ride, dude!



So, the moral of the story is that, never try to outrun a Japanese motorcycle cop. If you ever do get stopped by a Japanese motorcycle cop (and you are a foreigner) NEVER speak a word of Japanese to them. Be very polite. Act like you are lost. Act like you have no idea why they are stopping you.

I've done this several times and never gotten a ticket once!

Hint: Atsugi is the name of a very famous US airforce base in Tokyo. If a cop ever stops you, just try to look stupider than your normal self and repeat, "Atsugi? Atsugi?"

They will let you go. I know. I have a gold drivers license. Which means I haven't gotten a traffic ticket in 10 years.
