On air: Is it your duty to help the police ?
Interpol - the international police agency - to find hundreds of fugitives wanted for murder or rape or other serious crimes.
and they want internet users to work through chatrooms and social networking sites to bring them in.:
"It is more likely that someone will recognize one these fugitives from a social networking site or a chatroom than spotting them walking down the street, ....no matter how a member of the public has the information, we would ask that they pass it on." said Martin Cox from the organisation.Is it in everyone's interests that we help the police ? - does it depend on the crime ? (i.e you might turn a blind eye to some petty theft but not, say, a hit and run accident) or your culture or history ? (no-one likes a "grass" for example) .
Or is catching criminals "their" job ? Why should your risk your safety to help people who are paid to protect you ?
