I'd probably be terrified if I were that cop. Japan is such an odd place. Try that in the US and you'd get shot.

Well, the main difference is that cops KNOW that they won't EVER get shot in Japan... As a matter of fact they don't even have guns. A few wangan racers are not much to worry about there...

Back up... lol. It's just racers on the wangan or any peripherical road around any big japanese city. It's the same thing every friday night. They get there, play with cops and leave...

Maybe you'd wouldn't get shot,but they would have no hesitation to ram your car off the road and disable it, followed by arresting you as an example.

Well, some of them might be making 300-400HP on a 2200lb car, so if your weedwhacker sounds like that then I feel sorry for your weeds.

Slap you with a nice big obstruction of justice charge, and then maybe a reckless endangerment for good measure

This is pretty normal here. Our police don't really do anything. Last night a WRX STI noticed my GA was not a standard econobox and started revving at me. A patrol car just drove on past as if it wasn't obvious the STI was jonesing for a race.
I don't street race, so I let him pass me, clearly to his disappointment.

This is normal. I secretly think the young cops actually enjoy it. No one ever gets hurt.

yes I remember reading/seeing something saying that the cops know they have no chance catching up with these tuned cars so they don't bother chasing them.
Shit, I think it was in Tokyo drift lol.

I'm not there yet... My wife is japanese though and I've spent a lot of time there... DI don't know much about the car culture though to be honest. I will have plenty of time to dicover all that though... Bought my ticket (and my wife's of course lol) yesterday. I leave september 1st :)

Oh whoops I didn't know whether or not you departed.
Good luck!! Such an exciting move. It's a shame you couldn't keep the C5 lol

C4 ;)
And yes it sucks... my fault though, next time I'll buy one with a lot less mileage so japanese people buy it once I decide to sell it...

I guess that I always just assumed that this kind of thing was just a myth.

How much does gasoline cost in Japan? By the way, have you seen this Japanese police car?

'murican cops would just pit maneuver the first hatch and shotgun the other two guys. "They were drug runners...or coyotes...or terrorists...or something..." Would be good enough for a usual "We are investigating this unfortunate incident of police brutality, and will wrap it up and do nothing when you've forgotten about it." press release, or a two days paid leave, or at worst, transfer to another district.

perhaps if you didn't style the exterior so obnoxiously and you didn't have that racer look in your eye!

Having lived in Japan for a bit, allow me to share one Very Important Rule: Never fuck with Yakuza. The traffic cop acted wisely.
