For me, if I told him I was going to report him, I probably would? Often we're so culturally schooled to think of ourselves as snitches or "bad" for reporting crime, especially when it is related to our own situations or triggers. I try to take the "moral" out of it and make it as black and white as I can in cases where I'm tying myself in knots. The law says he has to be registered, he's not registered and could be a security risk to myself and others so I'd report him. It's not germane how I feel about illegal aliens and that whether I "agree" with the law or not; in a country where political freedom counts, people who don't like certain laws can do lots of things to get the law changed. Right now though, the law says. . .
