Hi,
How should an individual who is “on the path to Nibbana” respond in the following situations?

A person blatantly breaks the law (could be stealing from a Supermarket, a home-invasion / breakin or could be in a parking lot where they crash another vehicle and take off etc..)

Should the individual take any form of action or should they ignore the breaking of the law and drop the thoughts and move on? If they were to take some form of action (i.e. speak to the Manager about the stealing or speak to the owner of the house / damaged vehicle) does that belong to “dosakaya” or should any action taken be purely based on the rule of law with no dosa involved towards the law-breaker?
