Actually Varius.... you are beginning to flip me on this one a bit.
How's this... Even if the dude is squeaky clean, he really didn't turn this cop in because he was trying to be a good citizen, it happened out of bad luck ending up in a situation. And I agree, he knew he was illegal and he knew there are risks... totally agree.
Should he get a free pass? I don't think so. But I do think he should be given an appropriate amount of time to be able to become legal. He's got a special circumstance, and after all, they've already gone through his history, job, details, etc... and they were victims of the worst kind of crime of all: Betraying the public trust. When the enforcers are the criminal, who do you turn to?
but anyhow... this is only one dude in a weird situation. We can talk about him forever and none of it applies to the masses anyway.
