I don't think my buddy was looking to get off free. He did self-report and accepted that he'd be penalized.
The problem is this, the penalty is just as harsh if you self-report or if you get caught. Let's be honest, the vast majority don't get caught. So the rational albeit morally sketchy response is to take your chances with getting caught. Sucks to look at it this way, but it is what it is.

I think it's exactly what the guy said earlier, if everyone got off easier by self-reporting, would the problem be fixed?
It sets an example. Doesn't matter if you self-report or not, same punishment. It really is a shitty situation, but if they let everyone off with a slap on the wrist just because they self-reported, does the problem get fixed? Do you prevent people from committing the same crime?
Now, was a felony charge warranted? Being that he self-reported, that does seem rough. Could have easily reduced that to a misdemeanor since he did report.
