would be singing like a jailbird~
but if and only if I knew he could not trace the information back to me.
For example....if I knew someone shot and killed someone I would NOT tell if I was the only person that the murderer shared this information with.
If he robbed a bank and there was a camera taking pictures and all I needed to do was to add a name to the face,, I would tell and get paid.
Might even put some money on the criminals books since he was responsible for the windfall

If I knew someone had broken the law, money or not, I would tell. Money should not be the issue. The breaking of law is the issue. If a person breaks the law & gets away with it, they are likely to do it again. I wouldn't want to be the one that could have stopped him/her & did nothing.

Its called having principles and values. I hope I do. If there was money for me involved or someone going to prison, I would tell the truth. I would not want anyone to suffer just because I didn't tell the truth.

If they broke the law I would tell, unless maybe it was a small kind of crime and they did it under desperate circumstances. For example if a mom couldn't feed her kid so she stole a loaf of bread, I wouldn't turn her in. If the person who would go to jail is some drug dealing, murdering scum, then I would turn them in. The money would be a bonus.

Your question is unclear. Is the person that would go to jail guilty? If revealing what I knew would send a guilty person to jail AND put money in my pocket, who wouldn't tell?

I wasn't raised that way...I didn't raise my children that way either.
If I saw someone, a stranger, shoot someone down in cold blood for no reason--and I was questioned--I might say that I saw it happen (My vision is not great, so I could not make an identification anyway--or give other details)
Money, though I could use some, would not be part of my decision.

If the person wasn't family or a close friend then money is more important then some person breaking the law.

Bounties are made to get people arrested, how about Osama would you turn him for 30 million?

Only if they were guilty of a crime.
