Would you lie to the police to protect a member of your family ?

Of course

No. No one in my family is a criminal, so it would not be an issue. The truth could only help them.

I worked for a while in a prison. One of our inmates had lied to the police to protect his son, who had murdered someone. As a result, the man, who was now in his 70’s, was charged as an accessory, and basically was sentenced the same as if he had committed the murder himself, despite having no involvement. He was serving a 25 year sentence. California has a new program to grant early parole some elderly inmates who have already served a good portion of their sentence, however, he was told he was not eligible for this, because he was convicted of a violent crime, which he technically didn’t commit. At one point he and his son had even been cell mates. I always felt kind of bad for him.

No. If ANY member of my family broke the law, I would believe that they NEEDED to accept the consequences of their actions.

When my son was a young teenager, he got caught shoplifting fishing lures at Rich's department store. The ex and I went to see the the judge PRIOR to his court meeting, and asked him to go as hard as possible on my son...to teach him a lesson. My son had to do community service at a local food pantry.

Lawyer .... always

No, likely not but I only like a couple members of my family.

Would they lie to protect me

No. A woman has just been jailed here for hiding the knife her son used to kill another man. There are serious consequences for obstructing the Police in their enquiries, no matter how much you love them.

I would say anything to the police to get them effing

HUMANIZED

Not for any member of my blood relatives!
I do have one friend that I would bury a body for, but he has a proven track record.

If the family member wasn’t a problematic person and we got along

My wife would never do anything that would require me to lie to the police. The rest of my family, I wouldn't lie to the police for them. Lock 'em up.

eh depends if the family member was bad or the laws were bad you know?

i think yes but if she/he committed serious crime that harmful upon human being or evil effected with society I will certainly not

I am not a Liverpool supporter or a democrat


Tell the truth is the best option

Nope…,

What if they're gonna call you a liar no matter what you say anyway?

No I wouldn’t. The problem is that the police should have been talking to me, my other sister, my grandmother and others after she died. Instead they refused to reopen the case and took my father’s word for it and my older sister backed him up. She always was a liar and still is.

Nope. They're toxic and if they committed a crime, they're gonna pay for it.

Depends on which member and what they did. I wouldnt protect anyone that raped or murdered someone, or hurt babies or children

I can't really see a scenario where that's likely to happen

Nope.

No. Lying has a way of come back around and biting the liar in the "end".

Depends on what the individual in question did. If ot was an actual crime like theft or murder no. A made up crime like no car insurance or no permit for some assinine reason or anything to do with taxes definitely.

No 🦕

No

No.

no will only make things worse;i dont lie about myself,why lie about them,i did take a fall and blame for something i didnt do
