First, I would rather talk to my friend about it and questions my friendship on him/her. If the crime is punishable by law or it would intend to harm anyone, then, I would not hesitate to report it. How do you fell about it?

It depends on the crime. I had friends who used to steal when we would go to the mall. I didn't tell. They ended up getting caught one day anyway. If my friend murdered someone or hit someone with their car yeah.

If at all I had seen comitting the crime,I would try to know the reason behind this nd know if this was intentional or he did to save himself.if he has killed with a BS reason then i would report it coz killing some isn't a smaller issue nd he got to be punished for his deeds.

I really honestly couldn't answer that until I was in the situation. I would like to say that depending on the crime i would hope that I would do the right thing but who knows until you are in that moment. If it is something petty like maybe running a red light I probably wouldn't but if it was something major like murder I definitely would think I would, I don't think I could be friends with someone who is capable of murdering someone.

it depends on the level of crime he/she commited, if just stealing for the first time thats fine with me but if the crime is stealing lives of others, i would not report it personally to authority but just give anonymous tips...
