When you commit a crime it's not just actually doing the thing that's the hard part. It's also getting away with it. If you don't accomplish the getting away with it bit, well, then you've pretty much failed as a criminal right?

And it's absolutely a crime to be an accessory, and I'm confused as to why anyone would have a problem with that. We can't have a civilized society if people don't help the authorities catch the bad guys.
