I’m talking about like tax fraud and stuff.
Do you be the snitch, or do you be like Skyler White and join them?
No and no.
Ponzi scheme or something like that? Yes, I would snitch. Bank robbery, please do not tell me. Cheating on taxes? I will judge you but no, not turn you in, if you get caught you get caught.
No. Fuck the government and giant corporations. I mean I wouldn’t commit such crimes, but that’s just because I don’t want to deal with the consequences if I get caught. If you’re willing to pay your nickel and take your chances, go for it, as long as no innocent people are hurt in the process.
Depends, if the crime severely harms other people
Snitches get stitches. Unless someone is hurting people, I ain’t seen nothing.
Styler was complicit in a murderous/ deadly underground drug ring, where families are shredded apart and people died.
Someone fibbing on their 1099 isn’t anywhere near the same
Ethics comes above personal relationships always. That being said, small-scale tax fraud doesn’t really seem pressing; there’s plenty of flexibility about what to do about that, ethically speaking.
I’d have to duckduckgo where you even report that, because I don’t think it’s the normal police.
I agree with other commenters that it depends on the crime against my own morals.
Neither? I’d wash my hands off the whole thing “on your head be it if this goes to shit”.0
Not calling the authorities, also not going to need torture to tell them what I know if you get caught.
Serious, yes. Tax fraud, no.
Tax fraud may be serious to the govt, and the punishment may be serious, but you’re not hurting an individual, you’re not putting anyone out if business or out of a job, you’re not committing treason, you’re not even displaying sociopathic tendencies. Maybe if it were on the scale of Trump’s tax fraud …
10% cut.
Every family and relationship is different, I guess. I feel like active extortion would make the dinners a bit weird for me.
Generally if a person or small business was harmed then I’ll report them but if it’s the government and they did tax fraud or evasion I couldn’t be bothered.
Not unless it was weird or something.
Violent offense?
Probably not, unless I thought he might hurt another person who was innocent. Then I’d have to think about it.
Maybe an exception for like a mass shooting, I think I might turn them in for everyone’s safety, because if the cops found them on their own things might get bad. Hard part is working out how to do it safely.
If it was a one -off and the victim deserved it? I have no idea what you’re talking about.
If it harmed an innocent, probably. If it harmed a government, corporation, or detestable person, no.
Rarely is it only one or the other and not both or even several together, though…
It’s a case by case judgment call.
I feel like this is the kind of question that needs a whole lot of details before it is answerable.
Tax fraud? Absolutely fuck not.
Drunk driving? Probably I would give them a single “Hey next time I find out you’re doing that I am calling the cops on you” warning shot.
Stealing from their company? Depends, what does the company do and who owns it? Again almost certainly not.
And so on.
No wonder nepotism exists. https://www.statista.com/chart/8668/the-global-cost-of-tax-avoidance/
Personally I make a distinction in tax fraud. If it’s an individual? Meh, whatever. If it’s a company that has a significantly larger impact.
What offense?
exactly
Ya, hopefully OP is in a safe place if need be.
I ain’t seen nuttin’, officer.
