COPS – Roppongi

January 10th, 2009 by James

A couple days ago, Fuji TV news did a “Super Report” about how the cops working night shifts at a police box in Tokyo’s Roppongi district spent the X-mas/New Year holiday period. As some of you reading this site probably know, Roppongi is very famous as a nightlife area and lots of foreigners who live in Tokyo love to go there to party.

Most of the segment consisted of rather dull conversations between police officers and very drunk Japanese guys, but there were a few moments of foreigner-related amusement. Take this clip, for example:


Around 1:40AM on January 1st, a (Japanese?) woman and a foreign man come to the police box. The woman believes he is cheating on her, so she took away his mobile phone and refuses to return it. One officer asks the woman if she has the man’s phone, and she responds that the man has taken her time and her money. The man is hoping that police will tell the woman to give him his phone back, but the cops don’t really seem interested in intervening in a lovers’ quarrel. The narrator says that the incident ended sometime past 5:00AM, when the woman stormed out of the police box after the man said he “didn’t need the phone.” We are left to assume that the police officers took no action to stop her.

Also included in the news report was a clip of some drunk foreigners walking in the middle of the street and obstructing traffic:


This little episode took place on Christmas Eve, and the foreigners managed to slip away before police could show up on the scene.

I thought I heard the guy say ‘mierda’ when she wouldn’t give back the phone. Maybe he’s Mexican?
