Would you turn in your own member of family to the police?

[nationalist 10]

not read through but i think it would depend on how much of a danger they were to others

[Agent Orange 11]

Is it that clear to you? Would you turn a relative in for a "petty" law like speeding? That's just an example, I don't want to start one of the dreaded speeding debates please.

 

Without knowing the details I think it is hard to judge someone for their actions.

No... but I'd try to talk my family member into turning himself in.

I know that there are grey areas but to my mind the fundamental laws are the easiest to adhere to. Everybody breaks the law - The only way you'd be able not to break a law is to live in a darkened cellar and not move (although you'd probably get done for loitering) - but when willfull disregard is displayed then I consider it duty to assist in prosecution.

 

I'll not go running to the old bill if I see someone doing 34 in a 30 zone but if someone's taking liberties then I'm happy to help.

i grew up knowing that if i did anything wrong, my parents would tell the police. i never have did anything wrong and neither has my brother or sister. i passed those words onto my own children and im hoping they will tell their kids the same.

I don't know about anybody else but I am wondering how Lil sis has gone on after this morning. She is, after all, the one who resurrected this thread from Jan '05.

[Lil sis 10]

What did he/she do?

 

Using meth, terrorizing family.

[Ally68 10]

Thanks for replying Lil sis. Not a nice thing to have to do but with the looks of things it had to be done.

[Rich 12]

Depends what they did.

 

If it was something UNFORGIVEABLE like buying Celine Dion's entire back catalogue on CD (LMAO! ) then yes, I'd shop 'em!

[Lil sis 10]

Thanks, Ally. It's been a really long day! I still don't know if he's gotten the paperwork yet.

If anyone in my familly committed a crime against your familly I would turn them in. If anyone in your familly committed a crime again my familly I'd expect you to turn them in. If you chose to go down the route of extra judicial then game on.

Isn't that a rather ambivalent answer, given that the question asked was would you turn in a member of your own family family to the police?
