No Locks Needed on Apple Products in Japan – Police “Burrito” Treatment for Immigrants Who Refuse to Assimilate Does the Job (Video)
Japan doesn’t need locks on Apple products because theft is so rare it’s almost unheard of. A viral clip shows everyday people leaving expensive phones and laptops completely unsecured, knowing they’ll still be there when they return.

The reason is simple: Japan is 98% ethnically homogeneous, with a deep-rooted culture of shame, conformity, and group harmony that keeps crime extremely low. Kids learn honesty early, Buddhism and Shinto reinforce personal responsibility, and strict social norms make stealing a disgrace to your family and community. Add visible koban policing, a 99% conviction rate, and broken-windows enforcement, and you get a society where petty crime simply doesn’t happen the way it does in the West.
But Japan doesn’t stop at cultural trust. When immigrants refuse to assimilate, authorities have a no-nonsense response that has gone viral. migrants who break the rules are wrapped up in green “burrito” blankets by police and removed from the scene. The technique looks almost comical, but the message is dead serious: one strike and you’re out. Europe and America could learn a lot from this approach.

The contrast with open-border countries is stark. In the U.S. and Europe, shoplifting, smash-and-grab robberies, and street crime have exploded because societies have been deliberately diluted through mass immigration without assimilation. Japan proves that high-trust, low-diversity societies work — they don’t apologize for protecting their culture, and they don’t hesitate to enforce the rules.
The “burrito” method may look unusual to Western eyes, but it’s effective. Japan maintains order without endless debate about “rights” or “systemic issues.” If you break the law and refuse to integrate, you get removed — quickly and decisively. No safe spaces, no excuses, no revolving-door justice.
This is why Japan remains one of the safest, most orderly nations on Earth while many Western cities struggle with chaos. They never bought into the idea that diversity is strength at all costs. They kept their identity, their standards, and their peace.
America should take notes. Strong borders, real assimilation, and zero tolerance for those who refuse to follow the rules aren’t “extreme” — they’re common sense. Japan proves it works.

Mark Van der Veen offers some of the most analytical and insightful writings on politics. He regularly opines on the motives and political calculations of politicians and candidates, and whether or not their strategy will work. Van der Veen offers a contrast to many on this list by sticking mainly to a fact-based style of writing that is generally combative with opposing ideologies.

This is barely a dog whistle. Look at how Nordic countries approach imprisonment, which is what the US left wants to model our prison systems after. They have extremely low recidivism because criminal’s lives are not ruined from their first mistake. In America once you go to prison once, your life is basically ruined- leading you to have few choices other than more crime. It’s an obvious track once you spend more than two moments thinking about it.
Assuming this comment never makes it to the public, I hope whomever is reading this considers the above and then considers the comment I quoted. The author is so confident that the issue is due to homogeneousness and not having a revolving door. A different country proves that leniency on prisoners can work.
The highest indicator of crime is how the bottom of the barrel of a country is treated. The poorest of the poor. Japan treats its citizens with far more care than America does, for example. You can tell the nation of Japan loves its people. America cannot currently say the same.
