Would you report a crime if you saw it in progress

[Cyclone]

Yes, No and Other.

 

To be clear, lets use an example, we're not talking about spitting gum in the street or dropping a cigarette butt, a more serious crime, like mugging, assault, car theft, arson, burglary, that sort of thing.

 

Would you report it, would you not or do you need to choose other and explain.

[Glennis]

Why would you not report a crime might be a more interesting question

[Chazndave]

Yes and I have done.

[RickyM]

No.

 

I don't like the Police after how they treated me and therefore I want nothing to do with them and aren't prepared to help/assist them.

 

There isn't a legal obligation to report a crime too.

[truman]

Don't you think you'd be helping the victim rather than the police?

[Vegas1]

No.

So if you saw someone being murdered, and weeks down the line the case appeared on Criemwatch because there were no known witnesses to it, would you not ring in?

 

Give your head a shake.

[Magilla]

No.

Until of course, you get robbed/assaulted.

Perhaps not, but there is a moral one.

 

You sound like a complete bell end TBH.

I don't trust the police so how would I know that they didn't try to blame me?

 

You need to think about the powers of the police.........they don't benefit you!!

Thanks!

 

You sound like a gullible fool.

They would certainly benefit me if I was to be victim to a serious crime.

 

I assume if you ever get assaulted or raped, you wouldnt want the perp found, at least it would save their time....

[ubermaus]

completely loaded question, with a loaded summary...mugging, assault, car theft, arson, burglary

 

which one is it???

 

and under what situation? two massive blokes are beating someone up with baseball bats and say there going to come round and beat your mum up if you say anything? or do you see a random burglary and can report anonymously?
