Cop faces arrest for placing camera in restaurant toilet

NABARI, Mie -- A policeman in his 20s allegedly installed a video camera inside a bathroom at a restaurant here, it was revealed on Tuesday.

Police plan to send papers to prosecutors accusing a male officer from Nabari Police Station in Mie Prefecture of violating the prefecture's nuisance prevention ordinance after they confirm the allegations against the cop who allegedly set up a video camera inside a bathroom at a local restaurant.

The disgraced policeman has reportedly admitted to the allegations.

According to Mie Prefectural Police, the case surfaced after the restaurant reported to police that they found a video camera inside the bathroom earlier this year.

The video camera had failed to take any pictures inside the toilet, police said.
