I haven’t tested this with my parents (I mean I’m not gonna commit a crime just to test their reaction lol), but the vibes I’m getting is that they don’t care as long as (1) it’s not homicide against innocent people, and (2) I’m not using drugs, and (3) I don’t get caught doing it (because they’ll “lose face” or something)
Like I talk about digital piracy and they’re like: “cool, save a lot of money, very smart”, if it was shoplifting, they’d worry about me getting caught, not the legal/moral implications, same as if I were to, hypothetically, commit tax fraud, they don’t give a shit lol. Which, despite how shitty and abusive my parents are and I very hate them for most things, I kinda do appreciate the fact that they just have zero respect for the law lol
I mean like… they won’t talk, but if they feel like they’re gonna get in trouble, they will definitely throw me under the bus
P.S. Don’t confess your crimes here, this is about a hypothetical situation.
I used to joke that if you named a crime, I could name a family member.
They’d probably start recommending criminal defense attorneys.
Thats helpful of them. Never shit on good criminal legal advice
Ya never know, might need it someday. Everybody’s a criminal
The more victimless the crime (pirating from Blizzard, jaywalking, etc.), the less they’d care. My mom always told me “as long as you ain’t hurting anybody, what’s the problem?” and I’ve taken that to heart. I’m also a very (?) religious person (in the real sense, not in the “American megacorp disguised as a church” way) and I care about God’s judgment… trust me, nobody is harder on me when it comes to doing the right thing than myself. 🤷
I’m inclined to think they wouldn’t report me, but they would be utterly disappointed if it’s a serious crime.
All depends on the crime, doesn’t it? I’m sure my mom and sister both speed on the regular. There are “crimes” and then there are CRIMES.
Australian, so it runs in our family.
When I did (disclaimer: It was long enough ago to be legally relevant) sail the seven seas, my mom wasnt stoked on it and repeatedly mentioned “if you get caught it’s on you” yet still participated in watching said content and requested media.
Lol
It would depend on the size of the crime. If it were harmless to others like doing illegal drugs, they’d disapprove but they probably wouldn’t turn me in. If I killed someone, they’d probably turn me in.
