Japan has an insanely high conviction rate. And the cops also don’t bother filing a case unless they’re pretty sure it’s a ~~spam~~ (e: lol) slam dunk

Tokyo Vice, while a drama, actually portrays Japanese police work in a roughly accurate sense. And the whole bit with how the yakuza have their tentacles into EVERYTHING is closer to the truth than many would like to believe.
