Most crimes by servicemembers against local civilians occur off duty,[citation needed] and in accordance with the particular SOFA are considered subject to local jurisdiction. Details of the SOFAs can still prompt issues. In Japan, for example, the SOFA includes the provision that service members are not turned over to the local authorities until they are charged in a court.[9] In a number of cases, local officials have complained that this impedes their ability to question suspects and investigate the crime.
