It promotes "snitch culture." Which you might pattern-match with gang talk about "no snitching" until you realize that the ultimate snitch culture was the Soviet Union and satellites. What's wrong with a snitch line is that everyone has something to hide, and that everyone also does things that look unsavory at times.
