I got that from the "a". My own incidents have never resulted in property
damage or injury that received treatment, a blessing.

Were you satisfied with the workings of the system? In Japan, at least, I
have not been involved in, or even heard of a case involving anyone I
personally know, in which the police even handled actual incidents as
something worth investigation, even when it was so obviously provable
(evidence and witnesses) as three people on bicycles being struck by cars
in four separate incidents on busy, well traveled roads (all at a single
intersection); much less things more difficult to "prove", such as
multiple robberies and illegal entries over a period of months in a
single apartment, sexual assaults of different women with or without
witnesses, or one attempted abduction when alone with no witnesses. The
foreign women were sufficiently traumatized by their experience.

People are so concerned about the falsely accused not being properly
protected? So am I. How about those who never make it to trial because of
lazy, incompetent or biased police? I've covered ways (even a single
system) to prevent both.
