Turn a family member in that had outstanding warrants for felony charges? Would it depend on the situation, like for example if they were dangerous? Would you never do it, if not why not? Thanks. Just curious. If you have turned someone in, details would be appreciated. Best answer will be chosen by me and get my point of view on this question.

Police Officers are sworn to uphold the law, and would find their job in jeopardy, plus face criminal charges themselves for not doing their duty; even when a family member is involved.
I would strongly urge the family member to turn themselves in, and would do all I could to insure their safety and help them to get a fair trial.

Yes, I can not stand my Uncle who is a drug addict, and goes out of his way to make everyone miserable. I would love to turn him in for an outstanding arrest warrant, and would work to find him for the police anytime.
If it was a family member who has done me no harm, and treated others with respect that might be a different situation. If it is a none violent offense in a situation like that, no way. If they beat up a grown man, maybe I would keep my mouth shut. If they murdered someone, I would point to the police where they were if asked...I would not go down with them. If they did something sinister that made me ashamed of them, I would turn them in and quickly.

contained in the first position, if those expenditures were so petty they could've been expunged after 7 years, and no warrent ought to ever were issued. do not let us know they're petty, if california nevertheless needs him after 18 years he's a felon. i will guess the victims to that end have a countless tale. your dad skated for a lengthy time period, now it truly is time to pay the piper.

I would not turn in a family member unless they came to my house and would not leave, therefore I could get charged with harboring a fugitive. The police get paid to find criminals not me.

Depends on the offense, the relative, and whether I have a legal duty to report.

I would do everything I could to convince them to do the right thing and turn themselves in, offer to support them and give whatever help I could, but let them know that if they didn't do the right thing, then I had a responsibility myself to do the right thing. I would notify the police.

It would depend on the crime. If they're a murderer, child molester, etc, I would.
