So, you’re in favor of allowing the government to compel a citizen to engage in behavior that it mandates?

How does that square with America’s founding principles?

United States Code, U.S. Criminal Code, §ection 4.

Misprision of felony

Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

Turn in your neighbor as an unpaid governmental informant, citizen. Or go to jail and remain a convicted felon.

Where is United States Code, U.S. Criminal Code, §ection 4. Misprision of felony" found in our nation's Founding Principles?

My original question was, "How does that square with America's founding principles?".

Your answer is non-sequitur.
