Could you send a friend to prison?

[Mr S]

it's circumstantial. if it was a crime against another human, then i probably would. if it was a victimless crime, then fuck no.

What this guy says. I don't care if he didn't pay his taxes as long as I can blackmail him >

 

[Ham_authority95]

Ok say you find out a friend did something illegal (and objectional to you views) and you have the power to send them to prison with this knolage. could you do it? would you do it?

If it's something like murder or they're a danger to me and the public, yes.

If it's something like having a bag of weed in their room, no.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

Definatly not. If you can you arent a true friend.

 

[EvilEggCracker]

Well, I'd probably be the first person any of my friends would call if they did anything crazy. If it was a major crime (rape, murder, GBH etc.), I'd provide them with free legal advice, tell them to hand themselves in and fight their case. If they didn't want to hand themselves in, then that's fine - I wouldn't alert the police.

Touts out!

if it's something very illegal and immoral I could probably make myself do it, but minor things I wouldn't care about

for example, I knew a Dutch girl who dealt some soft-core drugs because she couldn't afford to pay for her car payments, and stopped it right after now you wouldn't report that would you? that would be mean as hell, right?

if I found out one of my friends had murdered people, and wanted to go on a spree killing then yah, I'd have them locked up in the blink of an eye

really depends what.

 

[DefunctTheory]

I'd turn my own blood in for breaking the law.

I was raised on the simple principle that you own up to your actions. ALWAYS. If some one does not do this, then they are not worth my time.

NOTE: The only exception is speeding. As long as when you get caught, you own the hell up and pay the ticket, and don't ***** about it.

 

[Craorach]

An impossible question without getting into specifics of the crime.

Edit : If the crime was bad enough, I'd hand them over myself and all the police to my home to arrest them.

 

[Norendithas]

I think the only circumstances would be if it wasn't victimless.

Yes, if they broke the law like killed someone then sure.
(unless they are apart of some crazy gang or something, then I might just write an anonymous tip to the police -_-)

 

[CaptainKoala]

If it were murder, or bank robbery, or something truly awful, then yes. If he downloaded an album, no way.

 

[ultrachicken]

Definitely. The "objectionable to your views" part really settles it.

 

[thelonewolf266]

Depends entirely on what they did but I'm fairly sure if I thought they deserved to be punished I wouldn't have a problem telling the police.

 

[Maiestas777]

If any person commits a crime which infringes upon the right of another person to achieve success and/or happiness, then they should be reported regardless of my personal attachment to them.

However, if the only person they are hurting is themselves, it is not a matter for authorities.

 

[Astoria]

Depends on the crime.

Something minor...Probably just gonna call him out on it and tell him why what he did was stupid.

But something like selling drugs, or murder, or rape, or some other really serious crime...I would turn in not only my best friend for that, I would turn in my own family. There are some things you just. Don't. Fucking. DO.

Yeah this. Something small is just hassel and a waste of everyones time but a major crime is a big deal and the person responsible needs to pay, no matter who they may be.

 

[scott420]

if it was rape,harm to children ( assult,porn,rape)or something like a killing spree then yes but anything else then no

 

[rokkolpo]

Hell no.

Friendship is about trust.
And it frustrates me so few people here share that.

Trust and loyalty aren?t issues. When someone breaks the law they must face the consequence you aren?t helping anyone by protecting them.

You're helping your friend.
(And you very conveniently left out the second part of my post.
Which states that you should help them sort it out, not just blatantly turn them in.)

I have a good friend, and I know he has made some...mistakes.
I helped him solve it, he learned and got better out of it.
He even apologised to the victim.

See I could've turned him in, which would've destroyed his relations with his family, his chance for a good job and would've costed him his girlfriend.

Do you think I should've done that?

It wouldn't be a crime if it was victimless
