The video where he interviews a lawyer on the Japanese "guilty until proven innocent" legal system was pretty scary if I'm being honest. They apparently try to force a confession even if you're innocent as the alternative is to basically let you stay in jail for up to 23 days per infraction. There is no bail and they interrogate you without a lawyer present (lawyer not allowed). It's honestly made me second guess traveling there as a foreigner. I'm incredibly respectful of other cultures, but would be scared something weird would happen and I'd somehow disappear into that administrative nightmare. You can't even talk to your family until that period is over, so you just roll the dice and hope confessing gets you a slap on the wrist. On the plus side, I know the cities are supposed to be super safe.
