If you see something happen in the street, such as an old woman getting mugged or someone stealing a car - would you call the cops or just turn a blind eye to it?
Personally I'd probably turn a blind eye to it, more often than not. I don't think I could be bothered to with all the hassle of calling them and answering questions, etc.

My girlfriend saw some woman on the floor having a fit and bleeding everywhere, right next to a load of bystanders waiting for a bus who were doing absolutely shit all to help the woman. I think my girl called the ambulance for her, haha.
anyway, i would probably rush to aid someone if they needed help, unless it would be stupidly dangerous for me to do so. at worst, i would still call the cops or something, then assist once the danger has cleared.
Not really, unless something really messed up was happening. But otherwise, there's not really much I could do on the spot since I don't have a cell phone.
