COPS

We’re watching the Japanese version of COPS at the moment, and the segment that just aired consisted of pulling a guy over because he had a headlight out, then searching the trunk and finding a kitchen knife, then administering a breathalyzer test and finding the guy was over the legal limit.

And now they’ve pulled a guy over who has a load of vegetables in his passenger seat. Apparently this is suspicious. He’s just led them to a cornfield. The officers are now stuffing ears of corn in an evidence bag. Oh, I think they just busted him for stealing corn from the field.

Man, they claimed Japan was safe. I’m afraid to step out of the hotel now.

A cop in Shibata, I think, once scolded me for walking the wrong way on a one-way street. "That's not even the best way to the shops, geez! I know it looks that way, but it's faster if you just go around the corner, go straight, then take a left..."

Don't tell your family; they will worry themselves sick about you.

There was a bit of excitement when they found a partial human skull in a clearing next to a road. They busted out the forensics team for that one. The show dragged it out for a while before revealing that there was an old graveyard on a hill nearby and also a recent typhoon, which presumably damaged a grave and washed the skull downhill.
