A 21-year-old policeman dressed as a high school girl in uniform including a miniskirt has trapped a flasher in Japan, police said yesterday.
The unidentified policeman in Ube City, 800km south-west of Tokyo, had been operating in not exactly plain clothes since late October after more than 20 girls were molested or encountered a flasher this year.
"As our enhanced patrolling failed to catch the culprit, we decided to arrest him red-handed by disguising a policeman as a woman," a Ube police spokesman said.
The young policeman chosen for the task "looked good in the borrowed school uniform without a wig or make-up," the spokesman said.
He was wearing a floral-pattern cravat bow, navy-blue jacket and miniskirt with a hemline 10cm above the knee when a middle-aged man exposed his genitals to him in a residential area late on Tuesday.
The disguised policeman's legs were unshaven but the flasher, identified as Isamu Nakashima, 50, did not notice it in the dark.

"I was stunned as I believed he was a girl," Nakashima was quoted as saying after being arrested on obscenity charges.
The policeman is 165cm tall and weighs 60kg.
It was not the first time a disguised man has snared a wrong-doer.
In August 2001, a 49-year-old father trapped a man suspected of preying on girls by dressing up in his daughter's wind breaker and shorts in the western Japan village of Yamazoe.
The father was infuriated after learning a man threatened his 17-year-old daughter with a knife

If the cop ever wants a career change he might be able to make a go of being a female impersonator.

Maybe the Joker can get into this after he loses his bid to unseat President Bush.
I hear they're looking for a few good metrosexuals...

The disguised policeman's legs were unshaven but the flasher, identified as Isamu Nakashima, 50, did not notice it in the dark.From what I've seen, hairy legs is NOT the most efficient way to establish gender in Japan.
