[Introduction] Young female lawyer Kameishi Renko took over a theft case in Osaka. She originally thought it was a formality job, but she learned from the client that in order to control criminal intelligence, the police installed GPS on the suspect's vehicle and conducted mobile phone monitoring without applying for a search warrant. Sensing the danger of infringing on citizens' personal privacy, Kameishi formed a young defense team to appeal the police's overreach of power, all the way to the Supreme Court. In the end, Japan's Supreme Court ruled in 2017 that "it is illegal for the police to use GPS to monitor citizens without a search warrant." This case also became a landmark case in the Heisei era.
Reader comments
This book resonated with me very much, and it reminded me of the experiences of some of my friends. Just like Lawyer Kamishi in the book, many times we will face some difficulties and challenges, but as long as we persist in our beliefs, we will definitely gain something. I especially hate Kenji Hamamoto in the book. What he does makes people very angry. However, I was really moved to see Attorney Kameishi and her team finally emerge victorious. This book not only shows the power of law, but also allows me to see the brilliance of human nature. I will recommend it to my friends and I think they will like it too.

In fact, it is about a suspect who is targeted by the police, and then installs GPS positioning on his car. As a result, his family members are also monitored. In Great China, I think it is a common phenomenon. The author explains from a lawyer's perspective that people should respect the privacy rights of others and cannot monitor others just because they may be suspects. But in fact, in this era of big data, this kind of thing happens frequently. So I don't think it's surprising. But the author is still very good at writing this book. Because he treats people as human beings, this alone is enough to give him a five-star rating.
The way you fight to uphold the justice in your heart really shines.
