Hmmm... well, you can take a view on who's "responsibility" it is to report infringements. But any notion here that the right to allege that someone has broken the law is limited to only trained professionals is void.
Anyone who feels that they have witnessed a legal violation has the right to report it. Not investigate it, not prosecute it, not judge it, but to report it: yes. That's not aviation specific, nor specific to Britain or even Western society either. Now that we understand that, then you have to ask yourself, should pilots - vs. joe schmo - feel an obligation to report percieved infringements:
(a) Less than non pilots. ("He who casts")
(b) About the same.
(c) More. (Better informed as to geniune threat?)
Interesting debate.
