Suppose it was CSAM in the mail, do you think a delicate touch is still warranted? The context matters.

It'd be a pretty horrible system if it was possible to get anyone you dislike tortured for a month by mailing them CSAM they didn't ask for...

Well her detention didn't happen immediately, it likely happened because she didn't respond to an email while they were investigating asking for more information, which she even admits.

It doesn't matter what the charges were , she was cleared from it. Doesn't Japan have innocent until proven guilty laws?

All this story does it makes me want to avoid traveling to Japan. I don't fancy getting picked up for jay walking and tortured.

What an awful system..

Sure if you naively believe the hyperbole then don't go. Been 3 times, you'll know when you're in trouble, and you will have a chance to correct it before it goes further.

Infact according to her video she did have a chance, and she didn't bother.
