@obinn88: A foreign security guard in a Shibuya patrol vest got right in the faces of a group of young men on a packed street at night. His fellow guards had to wrap their arms around him and pull him back. The clip went viral, and the comments turned into a war zone. The vest reads 渋谷区 防犯パトロール, Shibuya Ward Crime Prevention Patrol. These are not police officers. They are private security guards who work Shibuya's nightlife streets in teams. Their job is to warn street drinkers and smokers, pick up cigarette butts, and stop nuisance behavior. Shibuya added more guards after complaints about foreigners drinking, shouting, and dancing in the streets around Center Gai. When they catch someone drinking on the street, the alcohol is taken away on the spot. And the companies running these patrols are hiring foreign residents, with job ads saying English speakers are preferred. So foreigners are now policing foreigners in the middle of Tokyo. Supporters say it's about time someone got tough on visitors who treat Shibuya like a frat party. Critics say Japan is handing off the confrontations its own people don't want to deal with.
