I recall seeing a statistic that something like 98% of the people charged with an offence are ultimately convicted in Japan, which means that their criminal justice system is extremely different from ours.
Either their police are legitimately only arresting people who definitely did a crime, and documenting it thoroughly, or once you've been charged you're expected to be convicted for cultural reasons.
