CHAPTER TWO
PREVENTION

Sometimes, your friend will ask YOU to help him or her.  Usually, it is a good idea to help a friend.  BUT, sometimes, a friend may ask YOU to do something that is wrong because it is ILLEGAL.  If YOU help your friend do this, YOU may get ARRESTED.

If your friend asks YOU
to help with one of these three things
YOU should say,

"I cannot help you",
and quickly walk away.

There are three things that you should never do for a friend because doing so is ILLEGAL.

YOU SHOULD NEVER:

  1. HELP SOMEONE COMMIT A CRIME - (Aiding and Abetting);

  2. HELP SOMEONE PLAN TO COMMIT
    A CRIME
    (Conspiracy); and

  3. DELIVER ILLEGAL DRUGS -
    (Delivery of a
    controlled substance).
