i make a point never to rat on someone unless it's a deadly serious matter. For example, I would frown on someone stealing some aspirin or whatever, maybe call them a loser in the parking lot or whatever, but i wouldn't tell on them. If someone was beating thier child, or something along those lines, absolutely I'd tell.

There was one time when i was in college and I was driving home from Pittsburgh, and there was this scumbag driving down the highway that was about as drunk as I've ever seen someone try to drive. He was at the point where he could have killed anyone on the road with him. Anyways, I flagged him down, managed to get him to pull over, in the meantime I called the local police. He pulled off to this parking lot and I started arguing with him. (he was practically passing out) Anyways, when he wasn't looking I pulled the keys from the car and pretended like I threw them in the river. The guy was furious but scared to do anything. Finally the cops arrived and I gave witness, and the guy got arrested. I almost felt sorry for the guy, and I hate seeing someone get in trouble,, but in the end I felt like i did the right thing. the police were pretty thankful as well. I ended up having to go to court to testify, but the guy never showed up. He broke parole and the judge put another warrant out. Freaking loser[rolleyes] and clear cut danger to society.
