You know, sometimes I really wish there was a way to physically smack someone upside the head online . . . that or we could cull the stupid at birth.
Anyways, to go on topic, I do find the law system in Japan to be fascinating. It has its good sides, but it also has its bad, and I - for one - could not imagine a society that is allowed to hold someone in custody for 23 days without a solicitor present. I am relieved to know people are fighting to change these kinds of things, and - believe me - there's a lot of other things that irk me about the Japanese system, but if I am to be fair there's flaws in every judicial system. Obviously
something is going right, because the crime rate is so much lower than many other western countries.
Does anyone know how things work with international law, though? I mean there was a famous American celebrity a while back who married a girl quite young, but in the UK she would have been underage, so he was forbidden to bring her into the UK as it would have constituted a crime . . . so if we apply that kind of thing to Japan, what happens - for example - if some idiot (like a certain member who previously posted in this thread) was to sleep with a young girl in Japan? If he returned to his home country could he be convicted for statutory rape, despite the girl being of legal age in Japan? And - as a further question - if a Japanese girl were to have sex in UK/US etc., would the laws of that country apply, so despite being a Japanese citizen a crime of statutory rape would have been commited?
