It was learned from an interview with those involved that the Aichi Prefectural Police had prepared a document in 2010 calling for job questions and thorough inspection of belongings with the mindset that "foreigners must have some kind of illegal acts". HuffPost Japan version has obtained the internal document.

This story has been around for several months at least.
Unfortunately, nobody cares.
First true story Huffington Post has ever reported on. New management?
Wow racism in Japan..who woulda thunk lool
This isn’t really anything new. The last time I got stopped was on the way to work. The cop said he was stopping me (a white person) because they needed to show they weren’t profiling particular races. I don’t know why he told me that. I can’t remember if he told me or somebody else, but they seem to be looking for SE Asians.
