Very discomforting. Anyhow, whatever the reason and no matter where it happens, I wouldn't advice to slap a police officer across the face, they'll consider this a physical attack on an officer in duty which means serious trouble.
I don't know enough about the Japanese Code of Criminal Procedure (yet), but I am wondering about the duration of detention in case of petty crimes. Solitary confinement for selling tickets??A judge must give police permission to hold someone for up to 10 days, this period can be extended another 10 days and on exceptional cases a further five until a charge is brought.
