I've never committed a crime but I have no doubt that if I did and I was caught I'd be held to account for it according to the law. But it depends on the crime I guess.

Issue here tends to be what constitutes a crime that the police should deal with, considering there appears to be less funding and resources are being spread increasingly thin (UK). More people are able to get away with pretty crime because the work involved in prosecuting < the result of a successful prosecution, at least that appears to be the 'word on the street'. I'm not sure on demographic differences.

I've never encountered the aforementioned hashtag and I'm not entirely clear on its purpose. I'm guessing it's an American thing in reaction to the recent police related stories.
