Not the OP, but I find the idea that people should help authorities convict themselves absolutely abhorrent. You shouldn't be even compelled to help the government convict your loved ones, much less yourself. The government has enough money, powers and people at its disposal, why should they be allowed to be lazy and strongarm you into helping them against your vital interests? Go far enough in that direction and you'll end up with show trials.
