In Miyama, Fukuoka Prefecture, four men aged 18 to 19 were referred to prosecutors after repeatedly weaving through traffic and running red lights on motorcycles. When a patrol car gave chase, they abandoned their bikes—wallets and all—and fled on foot, but it later emerged that they turned themselves in to police, saying they “figured they’d give it back.” On 5ch, the discussion ranged from exasperation at the young men’s selfishness, to whether penalties should be toughened, to whether the responsibility for discipline lies with the family or the schools.
This footage was filmed in Miyama, Fukuoka Prefecture.
A motorcycle weaves back and forth, drifting into the oncoming lane. Another bike then appears, and together they ride straight through a red light at an intersection.

He might not even have 5,000 yen on him
Also, his buddies are probably gonna rough him up for this later
I bet his buddies are on the same level
They should confiscate modified bikes and make traffic prison the default sentence
Rather than harsher penalties, it'd be better to write clear legal standards for measuring noise levels, and revise the law so police can force a stop—even by methods that risk a fatal accident—on people who ignore a stop order and try to flee.
Harsher punishment doesn't really deter crime.
What works is making sure they get caught, that they can't get away.
If getting caught is guaranteed, the crime stops being worth it, and fewer people will do it
No way you can allow forced stops for something that won't even get harshly punished once you catch them.
Harsher penalties have to come first
Zero is impossible, though
It's negative! ("yaken" — Kyushu dialect for "because")
If you want to huddle together, go do some charity work instead 😜
Teachers mustn't scold kids because it might count as harassment.
Let's protect the kids who are bad at sports.
The result: kids with dulled intellect and ability get mass-produced—less like bean sprouts and more like thin, flimsy processed konjac noodles. Well, you could see this coming a mile away… 😮💨
That's exactly why it's not a teacher problem, it's a family problem—it's on the parents. You're missing the point
Decent paycheck, a pretty wife and kids,
owns a home, living happily
lots of hometown friends too
Decent parents don't teach their kids to misbehave. You're missing the point
When someone waltzes in to turn themselves in like this, all they can do is roll up the rest of the gang one by one
They cover their faces though—usually wrapping a bandana around their mouth or wearing a mask
Evidence items generally get returned once the whole investigation wraps up and the sentence (or disposition) is finalized
