Shinjuku (新宿) is one of the 23 city wards of Tokyo, but the name commonly refers to just the large entertainment, business and shopping area around Shinjuku Station. Shinjuku Station is the world's busiest railway station, handling more than two million passengers every day.

Shibuya Halloween suspects tracked down by cameras watching what train ticket they bought

With Operation Eagle Eye in full force in Japan or perhaps Big Brother, like in London there are cameras every where.   Hence the scofflaws are now in major legal trouble.


Surely we all remember and were collectively angered by the incidents that occurred in parts of the Shibuya Halloween street party which culminated in a small band of men flipping over a lightweight truck and then dancing in it.
A few weeks later police announced a series of arrests in connection with the incident. But whenever I read about these kinds of arrests I always wonder how they find these people, especially in this case where it was a handful of people in a sea of about 40,000.
According to a report by Mainichi Shinbun, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police used a technique called a Relay Method. This method uses a network of security cameras both owned by the police and private companies to track individuals. That still sounds easier said than done, but the police get a big help from Tokyo’s extensive public transportation system.

Moron's Obviously Run The Odakyu Train Comapny

On Sunday afternoon in Tokyo an Odakyu train bound for Shinjuku passed a building that was on fire quite close to the tracks.  A police officer pushed the emergency  stop button at the nearest crossing causing the train to stop automatically. Unfortunately the train stopped right next to the building that was on fire.  Now for the best part the operations center for Odakyu didn't bother to inform the train's driver not only the trains location, but for reasons only known to them couldn't bring themselves to tell him that the roof of the train had caught fire.

Why think of the passengers safety when keeping them in the dark  and trapped on a burning train.  Personally, if I'd been been on that train I would've found the emergency door release and let the passengers out of the train.
