When did this become a badge of honor?
I have heard people get indignant - and loudly proclaim - "I ain' t no snitch!"
I suppose this might be a thing dumb kids do - but adults? With the police? Really?
They had a different name for it when I was growing up. Failing to give law enforcement information of
a third party to which you have knowledge of was called aiding and abetting - or conspiracy.
The fifth ammendment means you don' t have to incriminate yourself - but does not make it ok to fail to disclose someone elses criminal activity.. (Spouses and some family exempt)
Declaring yourself "unsnitchlike" should constitute grounds for arrest - as obviously you have knowledge of some criminal enterprise...
