I’m talking about like tax fraud and stuff.

Do you be the snitch, or do you be like Skyler White and join them?

    If it’s non-violent, no. never.

    As a general rule, I don’t call the cops on anyone unless that person’s death will prevent immediate harm to others.

    Cause if you call the cops on someone, you do put that person (and their neighbors) in mortal danger.

      It goes like this. If you have a problem and you call the cops, you now have two problems. It’s up to you to decide if the first problem is worth getting into the second.

      What about taking the direct (early) Breaking Bad example: they’re not gunning people down in the street, but their product is definitely getting poeple, including children, addicted. It’s non-violent, let’s say they don’t even hire people to shoot competitors or whatever, but it is inarguably causing people significant, probably life-long harm.

      Wow, where do you live? This just sounds crazy to have to worry about this when deciding whether to involve the cops.

        Going to guess America, since all of those rules apply for dealing with U.S. police. If you call them, you have to expect someone to die.

          “Expect” seems a bit dramatic, since it’s not like they gun down someone on every call. Be prepared for the possibility, maybe.
