Man arrested for making over 1,000 silent calls to police in Tokyo

Waking up police is a faux pas.

It took 1000’times to get them to act. After the 5th someone should have immediately investigated or max 10. What if they were unable to speak and couldn’t talk and needed help. But in this case clearly a person in some need of something.

1,000 !? What took so long ?

A doctor?!

Hang on, hasn’t this happened here before? It’s like the dead relative in the spare room being kept so that someone can get their pension story.

He should not be arrested but confined for mental treatment.

After the fifth call they should have just blocked the number.

The guy said he was a doctor! I guess that his True meaning of a call doctor!!

The best procedure for silent calls would be to act after the third one from the same number. It could be of someone in need and unable to speak. It is absurd to act only after over 1,301 calls!

The police kept repeating "shouganai" for each of the first 1,300 calls. But on the 1,301st call they decided to do something about it.

"Making silent calls calms my mind,"

Still struggling to understand the why/how this would calm someone mind

I hate to think what kind of jollies that guy had from this.

Ever hear the story of the 'boy who cried wolf'? Apparently, he hasn't.

The police identified the caller based on the number of the smartphone used.

oh really?

did it really take them all of the 1300 calls to figure out how to use caller ID?

or were they just too busy looking at their own smartphones, sitting at their desk, earning their pay?
