Your local police box is not an ATM
A scene from an NTV Real Time News segment about a police box in Kyushu:
In the clip, officers have to deal with a man who wanders into the police box and demands that they allow him to take cash out of his bank account. The man says something about wanting to go home, but since he has no cash he wants the police officers to help him. The cops tell him they cannot give him cash and they cannot force banks to re-open. He then demands that the police give him a ride home. They refuse, and he gets into a minor scuffle with some officers as he leaves the police box.
At that point, the man thinks up a clever scheme. He makes an emergency 1-1-9 call and says that he is hurt and needs an ambulance. The officers take his phone and tell emergency operators that the man is lying. Eventually the man, who apparently has no cash, hails a cab and leaves.
