Japan is also the country where there's 99% conviction rate in the courts (imagine what that entails) and you can be held by the police without charges for 30 days.
- WorldMaker 8y agoWhat little I know about Japanese law is from English translations of the Ace Attorney series, but one of the clear things from those (silly) games is that Japan seems to have a guilty-until-proven-innocent approach in courts. (This seems somewhat mitigated by prosecutors supposedly not even bringing innocent people forward to trial at all, but in the Ace Attorney series the number of cheating prosecutors doesn't seem to make it a very trustworthy system. Then again, given there wouldn't be trials for the games' defendant protagonists to solve if that weren't the case, it may be anecdotally skewed for the benefits of gameplay. Given how much psychic powers factor into the series, I try to make no assumptions.)
- giobox 8y agoI know absolutely nothing about the Japanese legal system, but I suspect using the Ace Attorney series of video games to try and draw meaningful conclusions is probably not the wisest idea...
