UnfairRepresent 07/15/23 6:09:08 PM #1:	Osaka Prefectural Police revealed this week that they mistakenly arrested a man over a revenge porn case and detained him for 42 days. The man, who is in his 20s, was later released with an apology from the prefectural police, Kyodo News reported. Police said they now believe someone pretended to be the man on social media, threatening to post sexually explicit photos of the mans former girlfriend online unless she paid him money. The woman, who is in her 20s, consulted with police in late March after receiving revenge porn threats from an anonymous source and learning that indecent photos of her had been posted on Instagram. The images were sent from several accounts. Police said they suspected the womans former boyfriend because some of the accounts used his surname, and arrested him on April 12 for attempted extortion. However, they did not check the sender's IP addresses. The man vehemently denied the allegation while in custody and said he he did not possess any indecent photos of the woman. He was held until May 2 when he was re-arrested on suspicion of violating the anti-revenge porn law. However, he was released without indictment on May 23, after a follow-up investigation found that none of the social media accounts which posted the images belonged to him and that the woman's face had been superimposed onto images of other women.

That apology isn't gonna pay his bills, put food in his fridge and get him a new girlfriend. How would you feel if you were held in jail for 42 days for a perverted crime you didn't commit?

They can continuously extend a person's holding time by asking a judge. A lot of cases are them holding a person until they crack and confess just to stop the daily interrogation. --- I am Mogar, God of Irony and The Devourer of Topics. <cite>Irony posted [p:974860714] in Police apo...

darkmaian23 07/15/23 6:30:00 PM #11:	Ideally, in a world where people routinely pretend to be people they aren't online, police would have checked to see if the accounts posting the images belonged to the man--and if he was the only who had access to said accounts--before arresting him. How did it take them 42 days to do basic police work? It can't have taken 42 days to find out the accounts didn't belong to him, so what made someone finally do the right thing and check? Japan's police are less problematic than US police, but cases like this illustrate that you always need to be wary of law enforcement. All it takes is a mix up or someone not doing their job competently, and your life will get turned upside down. And it's hard to get money or compensation out of them when they do mess up like this. --- Cuteness is justice! It's the law. <cite>darkmaian23 posted [p:974860841] in Police apo...

Japanese police are actually really patient. The only problem is when you're charged with something. The judicial system makes it hell for you to even resist, most likely having to either admit your crime or stay in prison for an insane amount of time.
