It's called accessory to crime. Give these @$$hats the sentence that would have been given to the perp.
Let's see how long this evil fad lasts.
Thirty years of law enforcement's war on the citizens and your average Joe six pack doesn't trust them anymore. Go figure.
Most police informants are criminals who will wind up doing time unless they give the police useful information.
People can wear all the "Stop Snitching" t-shirts they want, but when the cops say: "Look, pal, you're going upstate for 5 years unless you tell us who sold you the coke" they're saying who sold them the coke and they're leaving town.
So we said in the 60's, "Hate Cops? The next time you get attacked on the street call a Hippie."
Yes, this is a great idea until you're the one being attacked then having a witness to back you in court is a good idea.
So this shirt is worn by college professors -- not surprising -- either.

Aren't African-Americans amazing?
A lot, perhaps most, people do not want to testify in Court about anything. When I was a prosecutor, almost everyone had an excuse or a conflict. It had nothing to do with politics. Usually, they were just lazy or did not want to miss work to perform their civic duty. I just hit everyone with a subpoena and, if they squawked, I told them if they did not show I would have them arrested.
It must be tough for liberals micromanaging the corruption. After all, police (who are usually expected to snitch on lawbreakers) are themselves forbidden to do this in many places if the criminal is an illegal alien (OOPS! I meant differently documented worker).
Can we send Stop Leaking T's to congress?
". The movement got its start two years ago in Baltimore in an underground DVD featuring armed drug dealers."
Don't forget Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets. He was on that video!
The Sicilians were far ahead of the curve on this one. This is merely an urban American version of "Omerta."
Bump for later.
