I actually agree with this law...we all share a responsibility as human beings in keeping our streets safe if not by acting then at at least by reporting crime...driving drunk is a heavy crime...
I am all for group accountability...if a group of people are present while, for example, two people are fighting I would consider it fair that the law holds the friends accountable for at least not trying to stop the fight...
not all cases are black and white and the judge should be able to acquit at his discretion, but the general principle should be enforced as fairly as possible...the two boys should have reported her at least...its not being a rat its being a human being, a true friend....
