Possible implications of good citizens not playing that role in relation to public services

Possible implications that could happen if a good citizen didn’t play a role in society would be the divide between law and family. A scenario would be; a family would have a secret between a family member wish would show loyalty but to abide by the law, not telling the authorities would be committing an offence. The conflict between these two situations would be hard to be a good citizen. Another example of the implications that could occur with being a good citizen would be if a police officer was dealing with a struggling suspect, using the force that might be needed would be seen as an unreasonable manner and would be breaching the code of professional standards but without using it, he may get away.
