Morale Dilema

[Dakotasdad]

Lying to the police/prosecutor FTL.....

If your friend has a drinking problem, helping him out is only gonna enable him to go back out and do it again. So really your not helping, only keeping him from his consequences. I understand you worrying about his kids and waht not but in reality that should be his responsibility, not yours. So i vote sorry buddy you gotta pay the price (not because your an [censored], cause your a good friend)

I draw this opinion from my own experiences. Both my parents were alcoholics and it wasn't until my dad's 4th DUI, when he was facing hard time, did he get sober.

well a long time ago I would of voted help a brother out. But since then I have had many friends get killed by Drunk Drivers. So I would say hes SOL, sorry buddy, find someone else to committ perjury for you. I hate people that get drunk and then get behind the wheel. really ruins my Morale

wow, thats a tough one

I dont think I could lie under oath, I mean im sure I could envision a scenario where I would do it, but im not sure this one would be it. Id prolly tell him to ask another friend.

The only way I could see myself doing it is if he enrolled in AA and quit drinking. (dont care if hes an alcoholic or not), if he wasnt willing to do that then I def wouldnt do it

Friend gets tagged for DWI....yes we all know its wrong and he is an idiot etc....its 3rd offense I believe and a felony...yes I still know he is a complete piece of [censored] and sucks at life...but the first 2 happened 20 years ago etc....

...situation is that he was not driving when it happened he was on side of road with flat when cops pulled up and arrested him, they never seen him physically drive the vehicle....if found guilty loses driving privledges for year which means he cant drive his kids or see him really for that matter (divorced) and pays ton of cash he doesnt have in fines etc....

All you have to do is testify that you drove car but left him there for whatever reasonable reason you could think of....

..What do you do? testify and get him off? or say sorry buddy you gotta pay the price?

There is no morale dilemma here.

This is nothing but bad for morale for all involved.

How good a friend we talking here?

Personally it doesn't sound like any judge is going to buy that excuse.

But if it is a good friend and I think I would make any difference yea I probably lie.
