IF you witness a crime and do not report it, you can be charged with a variety of charges, such as conspiracy, accessory after or before the fact, etc. It depends on the nature of why you were there. If you are a shopper in a convenience store, for example, and someone comes in and commits a crime you would not be charged as accomplice, but you could be charged with obstruction of justice if you refuse to talk. |

The law sees it as a responsibility to other's to provide any information or details necessary to resolve a case. As in the prior post, they will charge you depending on the situation. |
