call the police yeah yeah so call the
police
I'm where the advice and I'm Teresa
today we're gonna tell you ten ways you
can get detained in Japan and these are
pretty weird ways right yeah we want to
make sure that you guys don't a comes to
Japan and end up in the Django yeah sale
yeah good luck my love bugs second box
no way out homie the first thing that we
want to tell you about is you can get
put in prison for lending someone your
train pass they're like two different
kinds of transit paths that you can use
to get on the train or use in a
convenience store or cafe and they
usually have your name on that this one
has kosh's name on it oh my god and
guess who gave it to us that's me
the CEO bad boo-boo that's a Japanese
citizen obviously after calling the
police
[Music]
I hate myself but I'm an ER table civil
right yeah I guess it's like fraud or
something like that I don't know to be
honest there's no one's really gonna
check who speaker you have be careful I
guess like don't readily show up please
phone you have someone else's sweet girl
number two drugs but mostly weed right
is the weed on the show real No so
basically in some states in America
marijuana or weed is real but in Japan
it's a very very serious offense for
foreigners they'll kick you out if you
find you with it you won't be able to
come back to Japan Paul McCartney came
back to Japan last year for a tour and
it is his first in Japan for me 20 or 30
years or something like that because he
was found with weed here are you serious
yes that's why he came here I mean
because he was finally allowed back in
the country
Paul McCartney when searched by customs
was found to be carrying a not
inconsiderable bag of marijuana so
unless you're Paul McCartney then stay
away from weed
number three is possessing a pocketknife
if you have a pocketknife that's more
than five point five centimeters or even
any kind of switchblade
you really cannot possess that outside
of your home
Chris told us this story and he has a
friends that prefers to have his pocket
knife he knows he carries around a ruler
so that every time you get stopped he
can just break out the ruler and be like
ha it's within the limits take me to the
police station so they'll try if you
want your personal weapon or bottle
opener you're gonna use the knife for
make sure you carry your ruler I mean
this like law applies to everything like
you can't have a long stick in your car
just to protect yourself if you if
someone like that with you you just
can't have weapons in general in Japan
so funny how like people are angry about
their gun rights yeah in the US and you
can't even have a Sikh in Japan guys we
can't even hold a kid wait if you're
cosplaying in Japan you want to have a
realistic sword make sure it's not metal
because you can also get a detain for
that as long as yeah
number four sleeping outside you can
sleep take naps over here and there but
it's if you're in a public realm you're
in a public space if you fall asleep at
stations or like that kind of thing
they'll assume that you're intoxicated
and take you down to the police station
it's not that much of a trouble you
always most likely my dad went to
national monuments in the u.s. in the
middle of a stairs with thousands of
people going up and down and he fell
asleep right in the middle you can't do
it in Japan number try being a foreigner
it's not illegal to be a foreigner in
Japan but there are a lot of rules and
regulations that go around being a
tourist here or living here as well as
the fact that police officers tend to be
more suspicious of foreigners than
Japanese people the thing is that I've
been stopped or also like held many
times just because they're like oh
you're foreigner let me see your
documents and even if I show them my
documents they're like oh well still
let's check and search and they ask you
what Airport you came into Japan so we
can check that you were here properly
and it's so safe in Japan that police
officers have nothing to do so they kind
of slightly check on yeah I mean like
that's like the easiest thing to catch
you know they don't have to do
investigation you have your card or not
hey hey
that's me I have a story I know a guy
who went running in the evening and he
didn't have his residence kind with him
so the police stopped him and then they
took him to the police station for
questioning he told them that they can
come and pick up the card but they
wouldn't have it they just kept him
interrogating him for well nothing
really
at some point they requested urine
samples from him so he has to like pee
in a bottle so that his urine can be
analyzed huh and all of this were really
for nothing for basically being
running foreigner in a park in the
evenings and this happens basically
segues into the next one which is just
that you have to have your documents
yeah so number that would be number six
if you're living here then you need
yours I do kado which is your residence
card your alien registration card if you
don't have that card they can hold you
for forty days with no charges
whatsoever yeah it's legal that's
completely legal so it most likely won't
like most of the cases that I've heard
is they'll follow you home to find your
card or you know they'll question you
for a long time like how Chris was
saying or just be like really free
peeing annoying but they can yeah they
have like the power to just make sure
you have your number be nice if they do
ever take you for that you'll never take
me alive and also this goes for tourists
as well hey so you're not living here
you still you need your passport if you
don't have your passport yeah it's the
same thing you're screwed
okay a lot of countries they say you
have to have your passport or skirt in
Japan you are really sorry they can
deport you if they want to so yeah
it's a very specific one yeah it's kind
of weird um a lot of people ride bike
six huge parking lots just bicycles all
the streets and because of that I guess
there's a lot of worry for bikes that if
you ride a bike sometimes people will
just stop you and of course that pole
pairing with your foreigner plus you're
on a bike let me stop you for fun if you
don't have papers that say this is your
bike but they will put you in like I I
had a we go to the same University
University they tell the foreigners all
of these things that you have to be
careful about and we may even bring a
lawyer to tell us about the stuff not to
do and he said he was held in prison for
eight days because he didn't have um for
his bike that includes your friends like
the includes like any kind of bike like
me and my friends were just chillin at a
park and we were kind of intoxicated so
we chose to like there's this bicycle on
the floor like just on the ground so we
were like just playing around and riding
it and the policeman came and we detain
prejudice like we're messing around you
guys lead a rally we topics I
number eight is to work at a bar or club
so of course this only actually refers
to foreigners it is illegal it's
considered an adult industry and any
adult industry is not allowed for
foreigners I'm not saying that I don't
know people who do do this but it is
legal so you should be careful there are
places that have strictly foreigners
working but they're protected by yeah I
had a friend who wanted to be a DJ
actually he came here but he had to
leave because yeah he got the card once
yeah so number nine but we're staying
past your visa sometimes you kind of
overlook this and you're getting really
really big trouble it looks like a small
detail but it's actually a big thing
yeah Chris was saying that he had
friends who they would just mess up
their flight so it's only a couple hours
yeah they actually got arrested for a
few days and then they were banned from
Japan for an entirety of ten years
number ten prescription medication
there's so much regulations for certain
types of medication to be legal in Japan
a lot of good medication that you get
prescribed to in America or in other
foreign countries might be legal in
Japan so you just really got to be
careful to have your prescription
because an ADHD drug that is really
common in America
is heavily illegal in Japan and one of
my friends he has ADHD he has like the
medication he brings it to Japan with
the prescription he forgets the
prescription at his house and he's
literally got detained and his parents
had to bring the prescription to the
police station because they were about
to arrest him for drug abuse yeah even
getting painkillers is slightly more
annoying like if you can't get them over
the counter in Japan so that sums up to
ten things you can get detained for in
Japan it's really not as bad as it seems
like I'm still here Chris is still here
I'm still here not everybody is going to
get detained if you're a foreigner if
you're just Japanese and doing all these
things you have to be really unlucky or
like you already have to be yeah doing
something that gets you in trouble like
like drinking like yeah being really
intoxicated and copy your tracks so we
also are planning to make a video about
these things that in the opposite way
yeah right are a little bit looser in
Japan they yeah for example littering
underage drinking and so on better
they'll be in a different video so I
mean leave us a comment down below
anything you or question may be
questioned or something yep yeah like
subscribe and that is check out dollar
stuffin you watch other videos too and
don't be worried to come to Japan it's a
really nice place
and just make sure to follow the rules
the rules like how nice little Rio is
Japanese people are sweet he's
embarrassed blushing I'm gonna go call
the police right now oh yes they're both
