Northwestern University Law School's Center on Wrongful Convictions recently produced a booklet (pdf, 16 pages) arguing that snitch testimony is the leading cause of wrongful convictions in the United States. The link to this booklet can be found in the blog 'A Snitch In Time' off the blogsite Grits for Breakfast.

I think most people would turn in a serial killer if they knew of one. Cam'ron is obviously no role model. However, his attitude is a good example of how the war on drugs has created such a distrust between the police & civilians that a large section of the population will not cooperate with the police, even for violent crimes.

no they get police protection if they want it, people who dont help put murders and rapist on the streets there no better than the people who commited the crime.

Cam'ron repeats himself mainly because he's taming his usual verbiage. Anderson Cooper slants things a bit with the 'serial killer neighbor,' but it doesn't lead into taking action into your own hands or the issue of exposing vulnerability(decrease in sales) by 'snitching.' Eh, BALLIN'

although i agree that it was a failed publicity stunt your logic is retarded.
