Don’t speak Japanese to a cop if you’re pretending you can’t speak Japanese

A foreign woman was pulled over in Kanagawa prefecture for traveling 58 km and hour over the speed limit, which was filmed on camera.  Japan’s “Real Time News” was able to get ahold of the footage and share it on national television.

When the officer started talking to her, she first tried to act like she couldn’t speak Japanese, but as he continued to talk to her he noticed that she could understand what he was saying and she started to speak in Japanese.  She went on to say to him that Japan doesn’t treat foreigners like humans and that she is going to kill herself.

The officer gave her a ticket, and told her that she could dispute it in court.  But being that the whole episode was caught on camera, and that she lied at first that she couldn’t speak Japanese,  I think her chances are about zilch that she can get out of it.  She was caught red handed, not only speeding but lying as well.
