you. >> reporter: but in arkansas state driver's license guide it says when being stopped by law enforcement you should turn on your turn signal or emergency flashers to indicate to the lawsuit you're looking for a safe place to spot. a new lawsuit from harper claims there were no exits or shoulder for harper to safely exit the highway. >> we call it a pit that ma nufer when people flee from us -- >> i didn't flee. >> reporter: court documents allege dunn execute aid negligently performed pit maneuver, or pursuit intervention technique, which put her life and the life of her unborn child at risk. harper told little rock station klrt she thought she was going to lose her baby. >> what if i had kids in the car? i mean, he wouldn't have known. did that matter? what was going through his head? what made him think this was okay? >> reporter: well, thankfully, janice harper's baby is okay and is now four months old. we don't know the full extent of the injuries. but the harpers' attorney said

they have heard from several other people saying similar things have happened to them. we've asked the state police for comment but have not heard back yet. >> that was jericka duncan reporting. president biden has called on congress to approve a police reform bill before the 4th of july recess. and while bipartisan negotiations continue there's no deal yet. the house has already passed the george floyd justice in policing act but republican senators have their own bill called the justice act. and trying to reconcile the two has proved complicated. but overseas law enforcement in japan insists policing doesn't have to be complicated. lucy craft went on patrol with the tokyo police. >> reporter: the essence of japanese law enforcement is here at the koban, or police box. besides more than 1,000 police stations japan operates 6,000 koban and an equal number of smaller rural posts blanketing every corner of the country. close to half of the nation's

cops are assigned to one. officer micah suzuki said the koban puts police at arm's reach in a crisis. >> translator: dialing 911 seems easy, but sometimes victims are too scared to call from home. or maybe they're not sure if their problem is really an emergency. so they come down to the koban. >> reporter: koban operate like mini police stations. but their responsibilities are vast. extending far beyond handing out traffic tickets and traditional law enforcement. cops have evolved to become a kind of one-stop shopping for problems large and small. whether it's giving street directions, finding a hotel room, lending car fare to cash-strapped commuters or even patiently listening to marital spats. but by far the most popular police service is running what could be the world's biggest, most efficient lost and found. >> oh, my god. this whole floor is just for umbrellas? >> reporter: last year the tokyo police department collected nearly 3 million items including

almost a quarter of a million umbrellas from public transit and parks. each carefully tagged and logged for easy retrieval. there are five more floors here, stuffed with everything from baby strollers to dentures. not to mention cold cash. as tokyo resident jake edelstein found. after he absent-mindedly left an envelope of cash at the atm, a good samaritan brought it to police, who returned it to edelstein the next day. >> if someone brings something to the police, it gets logged in a file and it's sent up to headquarters and that thing is tracked until it's returned. >> reporter: koban cops go to extraordinary lengths to learn their beats. they're required to regularly visit every business and household in their districts twice a year. the ostensible purpose of this visit is handing out anti-crime flyers. and here chatting with the owners of a coffee shop about their security cameras. with officer sota we can say

what's on our mind, said the owner. "he's really like a neighbor. instead of dialing emergency when we need help, we just call him." visits like this, while extremely time kuming and somewhat intrusive, are a goldmine for cops, yielding tips about suspicious activity and building community contacts. police presence here is so low-key and ubiquitous american law enforcement experts have compared japanese cops to mail men. indeed, the cops seem to be just about everywhere. on guard at local festivals. helping kids across the street. gently if somewhat ineffectually herding mobs at a halloween street party. and stopping traffic for a black lives matter protest. police departments create their own cuddly mascots and produce cartoon civics lessons for kids. at least one police force in western japan boasts a squad of

dancing officers, all reinforcing the image of the casual, friendly and ever helpful cop. no wonder police are consistently rated one of the most trusted institutions in japan. every officer carries a .38-caliber revolver. but thanks to strict gun laws, firearms usually stay holstered. instead of lethal force, officers train intensively in self-defense skills for restraining offenders called taihojitsu, the art of arrest. >> we've heard about something called the art of arrest. what is that? >> translator: it's a set of techniques for keeping ourselves and others safe. i think of it as a martial arts for police. our job is to protect not just crime victims but crime suspects as well. >> reporter: on this night police catch a law breaker in the act, head off in hot pursuit. after a furious sprint they get their man. a taxi driver nabbed for making an illegal turn. later the cops quietly break up

a brewing fight. as the evening wears on they head out on patrol. an inebriated man mocks them. but the cops remain poker-faced. "don't drink too much," one said. not everyone is a fan. critics say japan has too many cops and that officers don't have enough to do. japanese citizens essentially police themselves, say observers like jake edelstein, a former crime reporter. >> japan isn't a religious nation but it is a superstitious nation and i really believe people believe there's karmic payback for what you do, good and bad. and i think that's a powerful tool in making people behave. >> reporter: in 2020 good samaritans handed in nearly $30 million to tokyo police. and last year for the sixth year in a row japan had the lowest crime since world war ii, cementing its reputation as heaven for cops. heaven for cops. >> that was lucy craft

the actions of some officers, front page fodder. but there are other, back page stories. stories i have personally told over the years about officers who go above and beyond. and although these stories are far less touted, they are equally reflective. of the men and women who serve. these are the officers who take time to play basketball with the neighborhood kids. mow grass for senior citizens. and give rides to people in need. either home from work or much further. a couple years ago officer jeff tourney responded to a call in glendale, arizona. >> your family's concerned about you. >> reporter: this 94-year-old man was about to drive himself 2,000 miles to florida. tourney shut that down. >> all right. you ready? >> yeah. >> reporter: then took a week of vacation to see he got there safely. >> you got, it buddy. >> reporter: then there's brian

grigsby and troy dillard of little rock, arkansas, who found an alzheimer's patient out wander wandering. >> white male by the name of melvin enrine. >> he was pretty adamant. >> he wasn't going home until he got those flowers. >> flowers? >> that's what he wanted. he wanted flowers for his wife because tomorrow was mother's day. >> reporter: so instead of driving the man right home they took him to a shop and even helped pay. >> he had to get those flowers. we had to get them. i didn't have a choice. >> reporter: i also met pittsburgh detective jack muk who came across these two brothers at a boxing gym. muk says they were being abused and neglected by their foster parents. >> they have had it as worse as any kid that's lived in the city of pittsburgh. living conditionswise. >> reporter: really? >> and that just -- i had enough of it. >> reporter: so this bachelor cop adopted them.

>> you're muk, right? you happy? good. now you're going to go out and cut my grass. >> reporter: and finally, denver police officers monique cedbury and alicia martinez, who were called to a school one day. >> this was one of the tougher calls for us. his teacher had called 911. >> saying? >> saying he was being bullied and he wanted to end his life. >> reporter: not only did they help victor haran in that moment, they formed an everlasting bond. >> so how often do you guys see each other? >> often. >> he's like our family. he's like our little brother. >> is it helpful to you that they've stayed in your life? >> yeah. anytime i wanted to talk to them they would answer. >> they'd be there? >> yeah. >> reporter: this is what's possible when a police badge is

worn over a loving heart. these are the results when officers choose to draw their most disarming weapon. compassion. >> that was steve when you humble yourself

under the mighty hand of god, in due time he will exalt you. hi, i'm joel osteen. i'm excited about being with you every week. i hope you'll tune in. you'll be inspired, you'll be encouraged. i'm looking forward to seeing you right here. you are fully loaded and completely equipped for the race that's been designed for you.

for more than 15 months the coronavirus pandemic has kept the land border between the u.s. and canada closed. essential workers are among the few allowed to drive across. adriana diaz has the story of two canadian health workers going the extra mile to help the people of detroit. >> reporter: nurse bright gale's commute typically starts at 6:00 a.m. and takes him across an international boundary. >> when machine here says they were late because of traffic i'm like i came from another country. >> reporter: gale works at st. mary mercy livonia hospital in the suburbs of detroit. but he lives across the detroit river in windsor, ontario. >> we are on riverside drive in windsor, ontario. >> reporter: one of at least

1500 canadians working in health care in michigan. >> they tease and joke that, you know, i'll say something, it will be a turn of phrase and then -- oh, you're canadian. so you get that. >> you say "aboat" or something like that. >> apparently i do. >> reporter: they've risked their lives. especially in the spring of 2020 when covid raged in the u.s. and there were more daily deaths in michigan than in all of canada. >> i just remember thinking like what is going on? like we're running out of ventilators. like everybody needs to be intubated. >> reporter: lindsay lafleur is an e.r. nurse at detroit's henry ford hospital. >> i just remember standing in the middle of the department and just looking around like dumfounded. >> good morning. >> reporter: at covid's worst she had a newborn at home in ontario. >> i was considering whether or not i should even keep my job. so we had her sleeping in a pack and play in our room, and i was sleeping in her room in a tent

because i wanted to like conceal myself somehow. >> reporter: so why do you continue to come over the international border to work here in detroit with koifd patients? >> i love the hospital i work for. i love the people i work with. >> you like detroiters? >> i like detroiters. yeah. >> it's not -- it's not a border. it's just a line we cross. and i just think it would have been horribly cowardly, yeah, to abandon my american cousins. >> reporter: but in canada there was some resistance. >> there was a call in our local paper to have us stop being allowed to go back and forth across the border. >> how did that feel? >> not good. not good at all. >> reporter: both did contract covid but recovered. and they remain committed as ever. >> this is our burning building. this is what we run to. and what we've been trained for. like our moment to shine. >> reporter: adriana diaz, cbs news, detroit. >> and that's the "overnight news" for this friday. for some of you the news
