A woman has been arrested for the outrageous crime of taking photographs of herself naked for the edification of male admirers, prompting much outrage online.
National cybercrimes investigators in Kyoto were conducting a “cyber-patrol” when they encountered a woman offering SD cards containing 70 photos and 20 movies of herself in various erotic situations for the sum of ¥6,000.
Such a serious crime prompted a rapid investigation, and soon they had arrested a 21-year-old Hiroshima prefecture nursing assistant, finding she had made some ¥600,000 in sales to a hundred customers.
She was charged with distributing obscene materials (although it appears she did censor them), which she admitted saying “I did it by myself to earn a little extra cash.”
There is general confusion as just why she was arrested – the letter of the law actually makes no mention of having to mosaic genitals (this rule was invented by a government agency as a way of giving retiring cops lucrative makework), and in fact attaches a 2 year prison sentence to “electronically distributing obscene materials for profit.”
Mysteriously this does not apply to pornography which pays to have its mosaics checked by the aforementioned agency, magically rendering them non-obscene.
Online there is the usual despair at the policing priorities of Japanese police, who are apparently so intent on pursuing random exhibitionists that they have no time to deal with all the brothels under their noses or all the children being bullied to death in schools:
“Why did they even arrest her?”
“Pics please.”
“That is surprisingly cheap.”
“If only she had put a mosaic in there…”
“How is this any different from AVs?”
“Those Kyoto cops again…”
“She’s only a nursing assistant so I doubt she gets paid much.”
“Poor little angel!”
“Honestly, they ignore all the porn stars who do this stuff all the time to pick on her? They are only picking on her because she’s freelancing I bet.”
“Basically they want you to keep supporting their friends in the yakuza who run the porn business and pay them off.”
“Why on earth would you waste public money arresting someone for this in this day and age, with the Internet overflowing with these pictures?”
“As expected of those Kyoto cops!”
2ch has actually discovered who she was (not a difficult proposition as the police and mass media helpfully reported her full name):

Why is this even a crime?
If anything that law sounds like a huge waste of tax payer yen.
Japanese cops have fallen so low. They only go after petty crimes because those crimes are easy, their supposed perps are easy, and their jobs become easy. No wrangling with superiors over political correctness, no risking condemnation from mainstream high ranking public figures who only appear straight and narrow but really just a bunch of power hungry motherfuckers.
Meanwhile a family was denied an official investigation about their son's supposed suicide a year ago despite VERY questionable elements to it because the fucker responsible had a PTA chief for a dad, women's rights leader for mom, and retired high rank police officer for grandfather.
Fuck you, NPA. FUCK YOU. You don't deserve every penny you got from the taxpayers. You lot are nothing more than a bunch of government sanctioned yakuza, preserving peace only for the benefit of the 1%.
ditto for US cops
maybe if they werent assholes looking to ruin peoples lives over a non-violent crime, they wouldn't get shot.
Only the cops in the city, cause respectable cops don't wanna die. No seriously, all the fuckups get jobs in crime zones because no one else will take them.
the government's angry that they didnt get their fair share of money. it's kinda like why selling loose cigarettes is illegal, not because it's easier for minors to buy, but because the state's not getting their 5%.
Ya it's surprising the US doesn't just make all drugs legal, then they could tax them XD.
This would never happen in the US because of privatized prisons; they make enough money to throw at Congress to keep the "war on drugs" going
The private prison industry really has screwed things up. It can cost a state $50,000 or higher to keep one person in prison for one year; more if you count the free healthcare they get. The prisons are like hotels where the government pays people to stay, and they can't leave.
The companies running the prisons love it, and bribe politicians and judges to keep the money flowing.
not just the paper industry. the Cotton industry as well. hemp can make clothes much more cheaply. Cotton costs 4 times as much to grow, and taxes the area it's grown on a LOT more than hemp.

>marijuana
>addictive
nope.avi
It probably is the only way they could get the federal deficit under control.
This also could be a solution for Japan.
The war on drugs is not there without a reason. Firstly, you have to realise that the banned drugs cause addictions more easily, with smaller dosage. It's funny people often try to justify the legal status of drugs by comparing them to cigarettes or alcohol, because smaller amount of drugs get you hooked on more easily. Secondly, drug abuse has always been seen as sort of a taboo in almost every society. This is another reason drugs are banned, because the society does not think it's use is morally right. If you even understand how this world operates, all these would make sense to you. There isn't a universal definition of right and wrong that works for everybody. Law is very often built on what MAJORITY of the society agrees on. In this case, no matter what the actual consequences of drug abuse are, it will not be tolerated. It's just like how people frown upon nudity, or how some muslims find it offensive to show skin.
That's before you consider the reason pot was made illegal in the first place - it makes negroes get uppity, play jazz music and look at white women.
Also, the wood paper industry didn't want people to be able to buy lower cost, higher quality hemp paper.
I wished they would outlaw cigarettes, back in the day, my Dad used to spend $80 a week on them, while my mom worried about food.
and then you killed both of them because you're an ice cold player who doesn't give a fuck
and now everyone is happy and stacking Gs
His dad was the one who smoked them, what has it got to do with his priorities? God, the number of idiots on sankaku...
Got money for cigarettes, alcohol & drugs, but can't afford food? Your priorities are backwards.
i wish i had the lungs to smoke 400 cigarettes a week, oh sry if this is back in the day, he must've been smoking at least 600 a week
3 packs a day....
5%? The taxes on cigarettes in my country are above 50%.
Should be 500% at least, that is pure poison and pollute the world too!
@Anon 12:21 -- That would be a good point, if cigarette smokers' habits only affected themselves. But they don't. Beyond the usual hazards of secondhand smoke, there's also smokers' "the world is my ashtray" attitude that forces someone else to pick up their toxic litter. Or there's the carpeting and paint that has to be replaced when heavy smokers move out of rental properties, usually after screwing over their landlords because getting their nicotine fix takes priority over paying rent. Or the fact that smokers make for annoying, unproductive co-workers if they don't get smoke breaks every half hour, leaving their non-smoking colleagues (who *don't* get similar on-the-clock downtime periods) to pick up the slack.
tl; dr fuck smokers, they don't care about anyone else, why should anyone else care about them?
It's ones own choice what they do to their own bodies. If someone wants to commit slow suicide by smoking, that's their own damn choice to make, not yours.
07:00 yes, fuck us nonsmokers for not dying of throat & lung cancer, for our cardiovascular systems not working harder, for our clothing & breath not smelling like a homeless person and most of all, fuck us for having an extra couple grand in out pockets each year.
u mad bro?
@07:00 suck to be a mindless drone, huh? u mad bro?
@13:20 - Ya fuck you non-smokers as well for bitching about smokers. And some of the comments you made seriously seems you only like to bitch about "stereotypical" smokers. Not the large majority of smokers. Even with a break every hour I still get more work done and far quicker then my non-smoking colleagues.
It's not just the Government. Japan for all purposes is highly corrupt with the Yakuza still having their hands in all kind of business and people taking bribes left and right.
It's a bit like the corruption and nepotism in the third world just in a first world country.
So they obviously absolutely can't have things like this. Because if it gets popular it would kill their profit.
Any country has corruption it doesn't matter if it is a first or third world country.
Damnit, I wish I could keep cloning myself. Then I could take a crack at this problem, in a one for one style, if you know what I mean.
The ammount of corruption and nepotism differs by a large margin and how people react to it. And third world countries are usually far worse then first world simply because there are more reasons to be corrupt and fewer to not be.
One of the things that has kept Japan in the lost decade (or two) has been it's lack of an entrepreneurial spirit. This woman should have been commended for stiking it on her own and starting her own buisness. Capatalism Ho!!!!!
Did anybody spot her pussy in that one pic
Sorry I was too busy being baffled by the priorities of the japanese police force.
see this is why business fails in Japan. they don't support entrepreneurship.
dat censorship
WTF with those heart stamps!
Wild MissigNo. appeared!
MissingNo used cockblock! It's not very effective...
It's MissingNo., not "MissigNo."; there's a reason as to why it is a shortened form of the expression "missing number". Otherwise, I have to agree that the blocks do look like a MissingNo. over her pussy and ass.
Pokederp strikes again!
Thanks, genious. Obviouslly you know a lot of things, so I guess you did realize that the only thing I made was a tapping mistake.
Dumbass.
honestly it looks like vomit with mosaic like wtf is wrong with you color choices?
Go to bed Geoffrey.
Anyone have the link to the uncencored pics?
I'm pretty sure there are none; It does mention in the article that she censored them herself.
I love it when asian girls squeeze their flat chest together between their forearms to form tits and are STILL flat.
IT'S FUCKING MOE those size-clumsy girls.
I would rather be the one doing the squeezing.
You want to know why they arrested her?
Japanese police officers "rank" or respect amongst each other is based upon the number of arrests they can make.
This leads to ludicrous witch-hunts (poor men that had the misfortune of looking at a girl on the street) to obscene arrests such as this.
No wonder Japan has such a low birth rate..
she's 21 - check
she's on a legal age to do w/e she wants - check
she sells her PICS AND VIDS and never her BODY - check
she gets arrested for it - check
. . . . . . WHAT?
She failed to submit her materials to the "appropriate" regulating body and pay them their share.
That's the step you're missing prior to arresting.
they say "paying for paperwork and processing fees" but what they really mean is "if you don't buy this ticket, ur screwed. lolololol"
