A hypothetical ethical... How far would you go in breaking the law to help out a friend?

Let’s just say, that a friend calls and needs your help. The friend knows you have the equipment necessary to create fake license plate tags. He is broke and unemployed, yet has a great job offer 100% secured in another city, if he can just get there.

He doesn’t have the money to fix his car good enough to pass inspection and get the proper tags. He doesn’t have the money for the new tags even if his car would pass. He asks you to commit fraud to help him get out of town. He promises to set the license right when cash flow permits.

Yes, the job is 100% secured. No, the employer will not advance a check. No, he cannot wait for days getting inspection and license taken care of. He must be on the job by tomorrow morning.

Would you break the law to help out a friend in need?
