If offered employment I will have to make a tough decision.

Yeah, you do have to make a tough decision. God only knows what situations you may be walking into and the guy operating the meth lab in his trailer probably doesn't know you can't turn him in. Remember that census worker that was found hanging from a tree? One of the rumors about his death was that he stumbled onto some illegal activities while performing his duties.
Is there a threshold in what you can't report? What if you walk into a house and witness child abuse, do you still turn the other cheek? I couldn't live with myself
