You could also say civilized society depends on people providing reasonable aid to those who need it in emergency situations, but doing stuff like grabbing a child to prevent them from stepping in front of a car has lead to many child abduction charges. That isn&#x27;t to say that I wouldn&#x27;t help the child in that situation, but more to say there are situations where doing the right thing and not becoming a victim of the criminal justice system are not mutually exclusive. I will risk it to save a child, I will not risk it to open the door for a police officer whose sole intention is most likely to put me under his thumb.
