Wrong. There are particular codes of unwritten conduct. One of them is not snitching. Telling on others is petty. We have entire surveillance/authority systems designed to do it.
This doesn't mean you don't answer questions from the police - we're not talking about omerta.
If you were working in a fast food restaurant, and saw one of your coworkers sneaking a free burger, would you tell your boss?

It was such an urgent safety issue that not only did the passenger not immediately alert another FA, she or he waited 9 days to report it.

On your second comment, are we talking about the same world we lived in? Is this a cultural thing? To answer your question, in most case, yes, I would tell the employee not to do it, and or, report it.

You can easily google pro and cons on almost any disagreement on the internet. I am just a normal person, go will normal rule. ie I have friend drunk by couple sip on a beer! I have no way to tell if he can drink or he has drinking issue. Being a FA, the best course of action is to avoid unnecessary risk, to do their job. End of the day, if the employee disagree such rule, he can choose another career.

You could say to the FA "don't drink that beer" and that's entirely appropriate. But tattling to the authorities is a sign of low breeding.

It's clearly a cultural thing. Proper upbringing teaches one that tattling is wrong. If asked directly, tell the truth, but never volunteer. It simply breeds mistrust.

I was bullied in school. Should I keep my mouth shut, or tell someone?

you will get a better idea what is tattling means.
You are reporting someone misconduct which may affect others life or report someone "stealing" food certainly not consider tattling.
