In Japan, it could be considered as a "koumu shikkou bougai"
(Widerstand
gegen Vollstreckungsbeamte) as per art.95 of the Japanese penal law.

Keihou 95 jou:
koumuin ga shokumu wo shikkou suluni atali, koleni taishite boukou
matawa kyouhaku wo kuwaeta monowa, sannen ika no choueki matawa
kinko ni shosulu.
(Wer einem Amtstr$(D??(Bger der zur Vollstreckung von Verf$(D??(Bgungen beruft
ist, bei der Vornahme einer solchen Diensthandlung mit Gewalt oder
durch Drohung Widerstand leistet, wird mit Zwangsarbeit oder
Freiheitsstrafe bis zu drei Jahren bestraft)

Slapping a policeman and resisting arrest could thus have landed
her in jail for up to three years.

Yahoo News notes that "Hundreds of foreigners have been arrested here
for misdemeanours to which authorities in other countries would likely
turn a blind eye."  Hellooo? I'd be interested to hear of an OECD
country where one could get away scot-free after physically abusing
a police officer...

Why do I get the impression that that bimbo haunting Aoyama, whose
husband had to "pay off" [sic] the man in whose space she parked,
somehow deluded herself into thinking that japanese laws and customs
apply only to the asian vulgum pecus riding the trains, and not to
the "elite" BMW convertible- driving (expat?) gaijins like her...
