Senior cop faces charges for upskirt video in bookstore
ATSUGI, Kanagawa -- A police officer faces charges for using a video camera hidden in his bag to film up the skirt of a woman at a bookstore here on Tuesday, police said Saturday.
Kanagawa Prefectural Police are poised to send an investigation report to prosecutors, accusing the 25-year-old senior officer at Kamakura Police Station of violating a prefectural ordinance prohibiting people from creating a nuisance. The office has admitted to the allegations during questioning.
At around 4:50 p.m. on Tuesday, the manager of the bookstore in front of Honatsugi Station on the Odakyu Line in Atsugi notified a security guard that a suspicious man was tailing a woman at the store, investigators said.
When the security guard spoke to the officer, they got into an argument, and the officer escaped from the store, leaving his bag at the scene. However, his identity was revealed because he left his bankbook in the bag.
Later in the day, the officer turned himself in to local police and confessed that he had used a video camera hidden in the bag to film up the woman's skirt. He also admitted that he had filmed up the skirts of other women.
Another 38-year-old officer at the same police station was arrested on Dec. 15 for theft. (Mainichi)

Oh, it's plenty popular with Americans, but doesn't make the news much because in most jurisdictions it's not illegal to point a camera in an odd angle in a public place. The old mirrors-on-the-shoes bit has gone high-tech.
What amazes me is the continuing appeal of this kind of barely-adolescent tee-hee-hee voyeurism. The Web is full of "upskirt" and "downblouse" Web sites, despite the fact that it's trivially easy to find pictures of people who are completely naked. Some of which blur the line between a photo shoot and a medical examination.
I can only conclude that a whole lot of people have a psychosexual identity that was abruptly stunted at the age of about 12, that they still get turned on by furtive and shameful glances, and the Internet has spared them the effort of taping mirrors to the tops of their shoes. That's really pretty sad.
makes me wish I could speak Japanese, just to understand the lyrics
In the 60's when women wore garter belts and stockings,upskirts may have been sexy. Today with panty hose its like looking at slacks covered with a skirt. There nothing there to see so why bother?
Panty hose? You're obviously moving in more sophisticated (or older, or both) circles than I am. In casual settings and temperate weather, most young women I see don't wear any hose at all. They may or may not be wearing panties; I'm not the creepy guy with a camcorder hidden in a duffel bag, so I don't know.
Maybe its because its so seldom I see a woman wearing a skirt.About 95% wear pants now. Some of them so tight I marvel that they got them on. Doesnt that pinch their crotch when they sit down?
That puzzled me, too.
Never underestimate women's willingness to take horrible pain to look fashionable.:-) They are risking their lives to do it. Crotch-pinching pants are nothing.:-)
A girl told me that she once bought pants, which turned out to be a lot smaller than her size. Instead of getting a bigger one, she decided to keep it and do a crash diet to make her body fit the pants. This is just to look pretty for a single season, a few months.
I forwarded it to my daughter who took 3 years of Japanese in high school and is also taking it in college...if she can figure it out, I'll let you know!
Gogo would knock him upside the head. It might be worth it.
please do
the Japanese have a nicely warped sense of humor sometimes, if it doesn't get lost in translation
