Can the cops do this?

Ok for the last simester my hallmatesd have kinda been destroying the hallway and breaking windows being billigerent etc. I ahvent been involved and most of the time I try not to be ehre when it happens. But the other day i got a ticket for taking a shortcut on campus through a oneway road at 12am for all of 10 yards. The cop let me off of the tickets though because if he gave them to me i will lsoe my license.. 9 points.

thing is now the cops are arresting people in the hallway etc... so they want statments from people in the hall and the cheif of police told the officer that, if i dont help them to write me the tickets cause the officer has a year to do so. Even though all of the RA's have vouched for me they still wont let me off unless i help them out. IS it legal for them to use my ticket as blackmail like this? I dont want to rat out the guys in my hall but i dont have much of a choice. Its either rat them out or, lose my license + $650 dollar fine.... Is it legal for the police to do this? and Most of the guys in my hall have casued enough damage etc that they are getting kicked out next simester.

Well, I'm personally big on integrity so I'd call a lawyer... The easy thing to do is to back down and give up your fellow man - but be brave, brotha! They can't force you to rat someone out...
 
Legally, no they can't. Why are they doing it? Because they can. I would pick out your most hated enemy on the floor and get him in trouble. I'd stop at one though, and say that's all I knew...
 
I don't think they can legally blackmail you like that. You don't have to rat anyone out if you don't want to. You should ask a lawyer.

no but they can give me 3 tickets, take my license, and fine me $650
 
Why do you think that people should be able to get away with vandalism and destruction of property?

What if it was your car that they smashed the windows out of? What if I knew who did it, but didn't want to tell you?

you should turn them in for another reason. If they are destroying it, that means YOU and all the other students that aren't doing this are paying for it anyways in higher tution on boarding fee's.

i never said that they should be able to get away with it but i have lived with these guys for a year and they are my friends... i dont think they should get away with anything but i dont want to be the one to make them have to pay for it... its a moral dilemma.
