I think it boils down to where your interest lies and who/what you identify with more in a given scenario.
If cops asked me about some shit someone did and I identified more with that person or their act more than I do with the cops (pigs) then no, I wouldn't give them the information they request. But if the person had done something that I totally couldn't relate to, like they raped a child or some shit or if (most importantly) what they did actually affected me negatively directly, I would tell the cops if I couldn't handle it in any other way and it needed to be handled.
For those of you who see that as snitching in all scenarios, let me ask you this:
Your best friend is talking to a girl whom you come to find out had AIDS. Would you inform him of this to potentially keep him from making a fatal mistake, or would you keep that to yourself so as to not be a "snitch?"
