Try to keep up.
It's not a crime to know that a crime is happening and failing to take action.
It's a crime if you know your committing a crime and fail to take action.

Yes, Mr Findley, your looping repetitions are very convincing. I have read them again and I am convinced, you are absolutely right. Now, will you please tell me why you are a clerk and not a prosecutor? I mean, I have four years of law school behind me and six of practicing law, yet I stand corrected by you. Shouldn't you be promoted? Would you like me to write a letter of recommendation to your boss?

To help demonstrate how ludicrous Mr. Findley's position is, consider this scenario. Imagine there is a crack house on a street and opposite to the house are apartment blocks. The drug dealers are committing their crimes in full view of these apartments because the residents do not report the illegal activity they can see from their windows. Failing to report a crime is a crime. It's practically a certainty that someone(s) from the apartments witnessed the crimes taking place outside the crack house. According to Mr. Findley's logic EVERYONE who had a view to those illegal activities is a criminal! While it's obvious that one or more (or even MOST) of the residents in those apapartments did witness a crime and didn't report it and so broke the law, Mr. Findley would have everyone thrown in jail in order to punish the perpetrators. Or perhaps Mr. Findley would decree windows are illegal since they make it possible for someone to witness a crime and not report it.
