I guess some would first question your own actions and what you did about it, whilst commenting on others.

I guess the society we live in today, most would rather offer support to the one leading the rebelion against the "criminal" rather than starting and leading such a move.

You tend to find that once someone has said/done something, others will follow, but no one wants to be the one to make the first move.

The other side of it is, some blatent crimes are successful where people believe the person commiting them is actually acting within given authority.

One story some one at work tells from his days as a security guard, is of 2 men and a van. Simply pulling up to a stores back door, insisting they are there to collect a sofa, walking in, and taking it.
