4. No. A person shouldn't be required to file a report for any crime.

Now if such a person is called to the stand as a witness or subpoenaed for a statement, then yes it is thier duty to report what they know.
But "police reports" are entirely voluntary.

In fact, if such a law passed I would make the police station speed dial #1 and report mundane minor shit ALL DAY long.

"Some guy is Jay Walking"
"A car just changed lanes with no signal"
"Some car just passed me and I'm doing exactly the speed limit."
"This guy downloaded an MP3 from thepiratebay"
"Some old broad was walking her dog and it shit in my yard... and she didn't pick it up!!!"
"Some person was shoplifting Qtips from the pharmacy earlier."
"My neighbor is watching Glenn Beck and using his talking points in front of impressionable children."
"My pork is still pink but Olive Garden disagrees"
