They most certainly deserve to be turned in. If the Class A doesn't care, then that's that, I suppose... but the infraction should not be allowed to continue. It's like saying that I can run any stopsign or light I encounter, as long as I don't see any Cops... or reach into an open car and help myself to whatever is on the seat... Foolishness.

I cannot imagine why this friend thinks it "small minded" to stop someone from flagrantly, blatantly violating the Rules- IE:Breaking the Law. If he was a shop-owner who had a certain customer who regular "lifted" things, I would imagine he'd want that person stopped and prosecuted. That station is doing something similar by operating illegally. If he doesn't care, then that is his loss.

OH, BTW, My shorts are just fine, thank you. ;)
