They started requiring phone cameras to have an audible camera-shutter sound when taking photos, because there were just that many perverted jackasses sneaking panty photos on trains. It's not possible to turn that sound off, either.
Pervs are also why the buruma (athletic bloomers, kind of looks like underwear, Bulma is named for them) was banned nationwide in 1992.
They recently made secretly photographing anyone in public illegal. Apparently tourist shots of a crowd are ok but you can't focus on an individual without consent. I don't understand how they expect to enforce that.
Ez, if they suspect your doing something weird they just take the phone/camera and look at it, I imagine. Prolly just needed a law so they could "legally" search people.
But we are talking about japan, which is pretty much on par with white people from the victorian era, when people were ashamed of their bodys and ashamed of sex. Its something that isnt really talked about.
Anytime that happens, theres going to be alot of repression and perverts.

ok? what's that got to do with this topic though?
Because it's about people who just won't behave, to the point of getting laws changed to stop the idiots.
I thought it was neat trivia, that's all.
Granted, that was about native idiots, not gaijin.
FOREIGNERS OUT
Native idiots doesn't mean that people suddenly need to start accepting foreigners.
Of course not. Hence my addition at the end to make my intentions extra clear.
I guess I screwed it up.
