I don't think loyalty is a virtue, especially if it shields people who are in the wrong.

If, heaven forefend, any of my family committed a serious crime I would report them to the authorites.

i'm inclined to agree while i think in real life we find many grey areas on a small point like if we are in a car and the driver stops and leaves vehicle on a double yellow line to pop into a shop .. or speeds in order to get us somewhere fast.....or drives through a red light inadvertantly ... or even actually has had a drink too many .... even though they seem to be doing ok....  are we seriously gonna report them!...

 is the takjng of someone's speeding points a serious crime or one of those er grey areas.....  there has to be a limit as to how many times the offender can get away with it....  is that something we would do ? if for example the person in question needs the car for work say or urgent ongoing social issues like visiting sick relatives ...

is there one law for those in office or high profile cases (there were a number of cases about footballers and other celebs seemingly being unstoppable when their speeding cases came before the courts they had really good lawyers!)...

is it something we would do for a loved one

on the other tack ... in real life we are for ever being asked to cover or lie for friends employers and who knows who else aren't we....  'say i'm not here' or whatever...  but when our relationship sours does that change how we feel about what we have done do we then all come out holy and say well actually you know what they made me do that as well!... me i hated doing that so much when asked to once by a flat mate that having done it once and felt awful about it i then resolved never to do that ever again!  but i have certainly been in places where it has happened

GOD BLESS!

Peace and Love,
