ウィンク一発で「不審者」確定？物議を醸す防犯情報の是非と法的な犯罪の境界線 #エキスパートトピ（前田恒彦） - エキスパート - Yahoo!ニュース

This page discusses a controversial public safety alert issued by Chuo Ward, Tokyo, regarding a man who winked. Opinions differ on whether such minor actions warrant police response versus addressing victims' fears. Former special prosecutor Hisao Maeda explains that winking alone does not constitute a crime requiring elements like physical contact or explicit threats. However, police safety alerts serve preventive purposes before criminal liability is established. He acknowledges prevention rationale for nighttime incidents involving minors, yet warns that excessive information sharing may create social chilling effects and strain police resources needed for serious cases, requiring careful individual assessment.
