| I can't even believe I'm asking this dumbass question but it is being discussed on one of the forums and you need to answer it. If you get busted is it OK to snitch on someone that has less to lose than you do? Maybe you can talk some sense into these people! |

| i believe we are all equal, we all have our bad habits and make our mistakes. Jail isn't a place for anyone, jail is the worst place. I don't think its right to snitch because the person you're snitching on hasn't been caught doing anything wrong and you have. just because you can't deal with the consequences of your actions doesn't mean you should interfere with someone elses life and send them to jail to be abused and what not. |

i was once asked by a cop to snitch.
heres the story.
http://www.nevergetbusted.com/ngbbb/viewtopic.php?t=1490
i told him i smoke weed.
and while my friends and i were in the back of the cop car he kept trying to get us to tell him who we get our weed from.
nobody told him, even after telling us he was going to take us downtown, and whatnot.
but after a while he gave up and I was surprised/relived when he let us go. |

| If you snitch on the wrong person the punishment may be much more severe than anything the police can do to you. |

Here where I live,I really believe it would be a death sentence,to rat somebody out.and how do you decide that the person you ratted out has less to lose?
it really is A matter of a persons moral fiber,it would go straight against my personal grain to rat out even someone I despise,as I would not be able to live with that choice.
To me the only thing worse,than a rat,is a pedophile.they are both in the lowest ranking in my Psyche.
How do you justify it in your mind,I did it for my kids,well isn't that the same thing the cops are taking down those evil pot heads for...to save the kids

No, It's Never Right to RAT OUT ANYONE ! Every Lawyer I've talked to says: someone ratted you out. This is the norm??? What's wrong with people??? Why would you tell the STORM TROOPERS anything??? Much less do their job for them!!! They usually only know what you are telling them. They are fishing for more, JUST SAY NO!!! NEVER GIVE UP ANYONE, PERIOD!!! Think about this. If 1,000,000 people are in jail because of RATS, 500,000 people gave up 2 others to get themselves off. This is insane people Don't Do It! How can you live with yourself if you do this??? You have the "RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT" I hope you will do this! <a href="http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2198229 POT-POW |

No discussion of how to get busted is complete without a discussion of snitches. Lots of folks get busted in the middle of a smuggling scam because someone fingered them. Informants are much more prevalent in the marijuana trade than in other situations since most marijuana growers are non- violent and wisely refuse to treat informers in ways that are customary if not mandatory when it comes to other crimes. This benign attitude allows some cowardly rats to make highly paid careers out of snitching. Most snitches, however, are just poor suckers who got caught and were unable to stand up to the United States Government's enormous coercive power. Uncle Sam can make you rat out your mom.
Anyone who spends much time around the criminal justice system knows that the United States has reversed its moral compass on this issue. Snitches have been universally detested throughout history. We all remember Judas. Dante reserved the innermost circle of Hell for informants. Benedict Arnold was the eponym for the lowest form of biped life in all of North America. Linda Tripp will be reviled for all of history. But today, informing is a major part of the growth industry we call the criminal justice system. It's tax-free and inflation proof. Rewards in five to six figures are common. The government buys the testimony it wants/needs with freedom, cash and who knows what else. Without informants our justice system would grind to a halt like pulp mills without trees. Any two-bit criminal who finds him/herself in trouble with the law can now trade his cage for the freedom of a harmless pot outlaw. Shamefully, there are usually no consequences. Those who snitch on pot people should be branded as traitors and banished from civilized society. In some parts of the world, thieves have their right hands cut off. This is not so much to remove their hand, but to impose a life sentence of ostracism, since in those societies, where bathing water is scarce, you eat with your right hand and wipe your ass with the other. The poor soul who has to eat with his left hand is forever doomed to eat alone.

| 30+ years ago I know 3 guys that stole some newspaper machines. They got the money out and threw the machines in the local lake. One of the guys confessed to the cops and dove into the lake and retrieved the machines and snitched on the other two. It's been over 30 years, the two guys that were snitched on are dead, but time means nothing, he is still thought of as a snitch to us old timers. |

| That is a moral question. Personally, I'd never snitch with the exception of really bad crimes (ie murder, rape, kidnapping, treason ). |

| I can think of one case when snitching is okay. Given a cop that is using the color of his office to hurt and exert power over anyone illegally , it should be okay to hold that individual's feet to the fire. If they are using their badge to injure others, then any available tactic should be used to stop them. Actually, this applies to whole departments, not just individuals. However, remember that the "Thin blue wall" may suddenly collapse with you standing on it. |
