Im zanichi-korean, third generation, one of the events I distinctly remember is back when I was doing professional sumo I had a police officer question me about a theft in the area and asked if I was a foreigner because I dont look physically Japanese... Keep in mind I was literally wearing kimono, geta sandals and had a kasa umbrella.
There aren't many foreign sumos are there? And you probably had the hairstyle only sumos have as well right? I doubt a foreigner could quickly fake that to avoid police.
@@Alinor24 Yeah I wore the chonmage back in my day, and you'd actually be surprised. A decent majority of the top sumo rankings are foreigners, lots of Mongolians and Russians. Hawaiians have also been historically dominant in the sport as well.
Police Duties Execution Act (警察官職務執行法), specifically Article 2(4), which pertains to the identification of police officers: Basically when a police officer is requested by the person in question to provide identification, the officer must explain the reason for their actions and present their identification card (警察手帳). Here's the Japanese version: 第四条 警察官は、第一項又は第二項の規定による立入に際して、その場所の管理者又はこれに準ずる者から要求された場合には、その理由を告げ、且つ、その身分を示す証票を呈示しなければならない。
I worked in Japan for two years and experienced the same thing. Guy pulled me over while I was biking three times within one week. He always check my bike which I just borrowed from my company, my nihongo isn't that good but I think there was a bike theif around the area and he thought he could get me red handed.
I'm Asian-Russian and it happens from time to time to me in Moscow. Cops assume I'm a foreigner and ask my id. When they see my passport they immediately back off. I understand because there are a lot and I mean a lot of foreigners from Middle Asia and some of them are illegal, and yet it really annoyes sometimes
Honestly dude idk if you gotta say you understand where they're coming from like these guys are pretty clearly assholes, respect yourself a little more
In China its mostly the opposite. There's sometimes checkpoints in the subway stations, where they're checking people's IDs. The moment I pull out my passport they just wave me through. Stuff like this happens a lot. Because dealing with a foreigner requires them to fill out a form or file a report that they've never done before or the system just can't accommodate, so they just don't bother. There's not enough foreigners left in China anyway, so they don't care.
Got stopped by 3 police officers right in the center of Akihabara station not too long ago. Asked to search my bag, said no problem, they're basically empty except trash and a phone charger. Chatted for a couple minutes, the whole exchange was kinda odd. Kinda came off like they were just bored. Felt a little weird being surrounded with everyone passing by and staring but it really wasnt a big deal. Went on my way, caught my train and headed to Edogawa. Idk man, sometimes its just like that lol
@@punisheranimations6807 I was just salty because I'm from Hong Kong and I've seen people complaining about the police in Hong Kong being overbearing despite them not really doing anything I feel, and now police are actually intercepting people in Japan on the streets and you guys are giving them a pass
I have to wonder where these happen most often. Shibuya sounds the most plausible So far no police officer in Japan paid me any mind or bother where I was in Tokyo and Osaka and I wonder if it's based on districts or the individual officer that you happen to encounter
@@shartsmcginty8056 So if 5-10 tourists out of millions they receive does something stupid, it's ok to target the other tourists and people who look like tourists? Nah, at that point it's xenophobia or whatever you want to call it.
Work in Japan for 5 years never fucking happened to me, well the place I worked on is a country side maybe these only happens on major big cities that has a lot of foreigners that also misbehave.
@@ncwolfeapparently it’s only “unreasonable search and seizure” which is prohibited, which means they probably will do it anyway and make up something later or if the reason is actual racism I’d expect some judges giving it a pass anyway. At least as far as my understanding of the situation built in the last 3 minutes goes.
I dun think u can apply that to America cos my country, similar to japan have extremely low crimerate to the point, most of the time crimes are committed by foreigners, checking on locals is jus a waste of time n resources
he doesn't LOOK Japanese. that's the point of Japanese racism. you can speak like native level Japanese. live in Japan for decades and even married to Japanese woman. but if you don't look Japanese you'll always be foriegner
The thing is, he doesn't look Japanese. I didn't even know he was half japanese until he mentioned it in a video. Many people thought he was either Indian or Middle Eastern.
It would be nice to get some empirical evidence to back that up because Joey's anecdote seems common for foreigners and foreign-looking Japanese people.
Uh no it's uncommon for Japanese it is very very very common for foreigners. When I was at Temple University we were constantly being reminded to always be prepared to be searched and to never leave your dorm or housing without your ID on you. We had several students that kept getting harrassed until one day they'd forget their ID and then have to get tied up for an hour or 2 with the police.
Even if the police brings no firearms, Connor still get shot.
They carry hidden anti-Welsh Armaments. Don't tell anyone.
What kind of shots😳😳😳

The back kind! 👀
Not black enough tho.

I get this here in Thailand, Garnt is lucky he's fully Thai. Here they literally call you foreigner face. 😅
For context: Joey's middle name is Tetsuro, which is probably written in kanji on his ID
This happened to me a couple months ago in Shibuya. Randomly stopped by cops to search me.

Yay racial profiling some times it just like that lol JK
Sometimes racism is just like that
Imagine if this was in China, you would complaining about the government, but since it's Japan u guys are like, eh, idk

Man, if the British police did this, they would have to search every third person
Shut up racist
10/10 ending
PERFECT moment to end the clip.

Japan really do be hating forigners lately.
Lately? Japan used to go into periods of isolation every couple of centuries.
Japan really do be hating foreigners ever since the Yamato colonized the islands and declared themselves natives
It's the culture at this point
Blame the foreign prankster youtubers and streamers. Logan Paul, Johnny Somali, etc.

So what I’m hearing is because I have a Japanese name I’m in the clear for this sort of thing nice lol.
Would stop foreigners too after logan paul and johhny somali
What happens if the culprits are keeping credit cards somewhere besides their wallets? 🤔
Chris being chris as always
Joke would be on them, I don't carry credit cards.
Chris in panic mode as this is definitely OFF brand for him
More Kaho please.
Sure "randomly" stopped 😂

Are you white?
Ope, sorry. I thought i was being racist.
Which podcast

Japan and America are way more similar than most people think.
This seems to be one of those moments.
Random search and seizure is illegal in the United States. They especially cannot stop you because you "look foreign".

Sir, it's Japan. Not the United States. He wouldn't have been shot
That's the joke. It's a recurring joke. Every time, it's the same joke. Are you perhaps a bit SIMPLE?
This is cringe...
*joey is literally Japanese lmao why doesn't he just tell them*
That’s not the point. The point is they are specifically targeting foreigners.
