I hate to tell you Mikeyy, but I think that is a crime too.

When the owners of the ambulance I worked for wanted us to lie on our trip sheets so that medicare and medicaid would pay the bills, I refused and quit. I'd like to think I'd do the same in this situation.

I would not do it. Not because it's a crime, but because it's wrong. Having pot may be a crime, but it's not wrong. Now, I might be willing to do it if the dude was some murderer or something. But perjure for some dude committing a crime that is a stupid dumbass crime anyway? No way.

What if it was cocaine? Or heroin? This guy was trafficking, not just simply possessing it. Does that change your view?

No, it doesn't. I'm of the firm belief that people should have the freedom to put into their bodies whatever the hell they want to.

If you know he is doing it catch him doing it. There are two types of cops. Barney's and Andy's. Barney is by the book to a ridiculous extent. By the book. Andy is about the community. Does he bust everyone for every infraction? No. But he will bust those who commit crimes that seriously effect the community. WWAD?

You said you might be willing to do it if it were a murder or something. How far would you go to bust a murder, rapist, or kidnapper? What would be your personally drawing point?

How far I would go would be directly related to how sure I was of their guilt.

Well, you know someone raped and murdered a woman. You do not have a warrant, he is still a person of interest, but you know 100% in your heart he did it. How far would YOU be willing to go? Plant evidence to make the case run smoother? Violate the fourth amendment and face a burglary and violation of oath charge by breaking into his house and searching around?

(If anyone else wants to jump on this too, feel free. This should be interesting).
