But three weeks after the law went into effect, lawyers opposed to the law and veteran yakuza watchers say the only beneficiaries of the new law are likely to be cellular phone companies, which will see an increase in phone turnover. "It's technically difficult to wiretap cellular phone traffic. Furthermore, many gangs will rent, buy or lease new phones constantly, making it next to impossible for police to track calls," said one veteran Kobe-based yakuza watcher, speaking anonymously. ... Until last year, most important Yamaguchi-gumi business among very top mob bosses was conducted primarily by fax machine, which is much harder to wiretap than a regular phone. But at the regular monthly meeting in early July with the heads of the approximately 110 Yamaguchi-gumi-affiliated gangs nationwide, the Yamaguchi-gumi's top brass issued a new order. To guard against police actions under the wiretapping law, the mob bosses were reportedly told by Saizo Kishimoto, head of Kishimoto-gumi and the person in charge of the meeting, to speak to each other face to face when important matters had to be discussed. ... "The top leaders of Yamaguchi-gumi are too smart to be caught discussing illegal business over an open phone line. I would imagine they've already worked out other measures to communicate with each other and to get around the wiretapping law," said Kenji Ikegami of the Osaka Bar Association. ... Ikegami, though, warned that if police fail to make a few major arrests, they'll likely ask for more power. "Our biggest concern is that once police realize they aren't getting the results they thought they would, there will be pressure on politicians to expand the scope of the law. "If we were not careful, we could have a situation where, like the Kempeitai secret police before the war, the police will be recording private conversations of innocent people secretly, while the gangs conduct business as usual," he said.
