CHIBA--A police superintendent of the Chiba Prefectural Police Headquarters has been investigated on suspicion that he copied motion pictures from confiscated obscene DVDs and took them home, police sources said Saturday.
The officer, currently a director in the headquarters' division for detention cell control, is alleged to have copied the DVDs when he was a senior criminal investigator at Funabashi-Higashi Police Station.
Bringing out or copying evidence materials for private purposes are prohibited by an order from the prefectural police chief. The headquarters' inspector's office was investigating and considering whether to punish him, according to the sources.
The office suspected that the officer, who is in his 40s, copied data from several of the 7,000 DVDs that were confiscated from a rental video shop in Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture, in September 2006.
