The person who opened the door doesn’t speak Japanese so they’ll come back on Saturday. They left a flyer that reads:
To those who have installed surveillance cameras: We request your cooperation.
In order to promptly resolve incidents, the police may visit residences or businesses that have installed surveillance cameras in advance to ask for cooperation and request the following information:
- Contact details for verifying footage when requested.

- Storage media for footage (e.g., HDD, etc.).

I normally try to stay away from the police in general in any country, how much info should I disclose? Anybody got this in the past?
I have cameras indoors as well that I sometimes forget to turn off when I’m home so there’s a high chance my naked ass is recorded, so don’t really want to share that…
