Which company is in there then? Because I would like to boycott them and I expect many others would too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If someone witness a law being broken they have a DUTY to make the offence known especially if it will result in the arrest of the law breaker. Where would you draw the line ? I would report a hit and run, an assault, a theft and such things , but you would have to be pretty f*****g sad to report seeing a few plants growing. I hope the "grass" is pleased with themselves and never ever breaks the law !!! Edited October 25, 2014 by dilligaf 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spook 1,340 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 There is no such law or duty legally spook. If someone sees a person cultivating cannabis then a law is being broken. If a person sees someone breaking a law they have a civic duty to report the matter to the authorities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If someone witness a law being broken they have a DUTY to make the offence known especially if it will result in the arrest of the law breaker. It depends on your viewpoint. I can see a neighbour who has a few suspect plants but at the end of the day I don't view recreational use of cannabis as a crime so I certainly don't see it as a cause to ring the police. If a saw him punch his wife in the back yard that would be a different matter. It depends on your own personal sense of morality. I don't think 5 cannabis plants is a " factory" either but I'm sure it will probably create some nice headlines and keep the perpetrator firmly on the dole queue until retirement. One up for the establishment in ensuring that is underwrites the benefits tab for the next 10 years by giving someone a criminal conviction so they can't possibly support themselves. Woo hoo. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope the "grass" is pleased with themselves and never ever breaks the law !!! Breaking the law is a boolean. A person is, or is not guilty of breaking the law. Anyone who witnesses a law being broken and is in a position to report the matter to the authorities but does not should be ashamed of themselves. In the case of witnessing someone cultivating an illegal substance I would not hesitate for a moment to report it to the police and probably in writing. Where would I 'draw the line'? That is very simple. Once a law was broken is where I would take action. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you are an example of a religious person then I sincerely hope that the world becomes 100% secular....the vast majority of human beings can figure out when to report a crime and when not to...they would report a crime if there was/were a victim/s or the potential a victim/s.....I see absolutely no victim/s regarding this. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your religion has everything to do with it, it defines and dictates how you think and act. Those without a predisposition to comply with a faux book of rules can judge a situation within the 'grey' area thereby thinking for themselves whereas you and your ilk will act as the Borg collective, or so the theory goes, and literally go by the book....it's a shame really, because if God does exist and he therefore created your brain but won't allow you to use it...ah well, we do love in an imperfect world only made so by the imperfection of people. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
