>>Should I have done something? Probably.
But what?
I think there are more than a few of us who have dealt with situations like this. In the moment, it’s very difficult to figure out what the right course of action is. Often, even after time has passed and you’ve given it some thought, it is hard to know what you should have done.
Cops will rarely investigate even if there has been a clear, irrefutable crime like burglary or car theft. I’m sure that a situation like your would be even less likely to get their attention. If you see something, say something? Ha. If you see something shut up because we don’t want to be bothered.
“I’m sure that a situation like your would be even less likely to get their attention.”
I’m not sure about that. I wouldn’t have gone to the police but rather to the DA. This would be jury tampering, or something like that, and they might indeed take it quite seriously.
