yep that is true for serious crimes where someone else has been hurt or violence used other than in self defence.. but I would not consider people who do these things to be my friends…

IMO with official people we may not so much “lie” outright but try to talk down the damage/trouble we are causing with such things as drugs/unlicensed parties so people don’t get such heavy penalties.

but I think to combat this we need to have better and more solid morals when interacting with our friends…
