      Actually, you'll find that not prosecuting crimes for which there is little or only circumstantial evidence is a good thing.

        They also have 23 days of detention without charge in which they torture suspects with sleep deprivation and forcing them to face toward bright lights

        And beating

        In the US it's like 48 hours

        They also only give bail to people who confess lmao. And they don't record the interrogations.

        They can rearrest you after 23 days on new grounds, for another 23 days.

        Japan is an irredeemably fascist state painted over with self-serving pacifism, led out of the militaristic era by the world's leading fascist hegemon.

          And yet their incarceration and crime rates are way below the global average. Japan's police system isn't good, only police abolition is good, but their system is one of the best in the world in terms of outcomes, due in large part to their robust social democracy.

          72 hours in most of the US. If someone confesses or pleas at 71 hours you know it was coerced somehow.
