In America, a person has the right to remain silent. A person is not required to report a crime although it is good moral practice to do so. If a person is asked questions by the police in part of an investigation to resolve a crime, the person has the option to withhold information but may be charged in connection to the crime. It is best to seek legal information from a lawyer because this could be a very serious matter.
