Yea! you heard right "get arrested" in Japan and you will laugh your socks off. I do not recommend this to the faint heart or idiots out there but any of you hard core crims should see the inside of a Japanese police station on your visit.

I got done at 3:30 am for moving a bycicle that was dumped in a bush. I thought I was doing a public service but under JP law moving another persons bike is an offence...
I suspected it was a plant (a setup) when I was caught moving this bike out of the bush. They wanted to take polaroids of me and the bike after the fact to which I refused. I was placed into the lovely Toyota police car with leather seats (plz take note crims) and rear electric windows and door releases in the rear.
At the station I was treated like a good criminal and was permitted to smoke at any time I wished tipping my ash into a police station custom ashtray. After complaining several times that I needed ramen I got a good bowl of the stuff and a box of cigs to keep me going.
I am not sure but I think the head honcho came to interview with me which allowed me much bowing practice. Damn! bow enough and these guys will let you off anything.
So in the end I asked who was the owner of the bike? they could not provide me with the ownership so I protested that I could not touch a bike that had no owner and be guilty. they agreed and drove me home in the lovely Toyota police car.

BTW. while in the police car I managed to play with the interior lights and electric windows with no attention from the JP police.
