...If three friends and I were to find a human bone that was sawed away from whatever part it was connected to, would the police over look the fact that I was violating my provisional license because we just found what could be a murder site?
 
why do they have to know that the individual in question was violating her/his provisional liscense?

the neighbors saw them in the area, we'll say. so they have to tell the truth or risk getting in trouble for lying.
 
I think you can probably get in more trouble for not reporting it, but I would also say that if it came to that the police would cut a deal to overlook the license thing in exchange for your statement.

i hope so
Honestly i dont even think you should consider the license thing. IF you found a human bone sawed away from a body then you should report it.
Having said that, you have to be sure its not a human bone too.
Report it, thats the only thing you can do. theres no ifs or buts, if its genuinely Human, then you have a duty, no matter what the circumstances, to see the proper authorities are told.

Dude! Are you channelling me?
Is there a Crimestoppers in your area? Use it, and you could even get a reward if it is something criminal! Money + civic duty = great!

We have them in Texas, too. They put little "re-enactment" scenarios on the TV all the time, and give the phone number you can call if you have a tip.
 
We need a little more info about this "hypothetical" situation. Firstly, what makes you suppose that a sawn bone you've found is human? Can you be sure that it isn't just a leg of lamb or beef that a family gave their dog to chew on after they've eaten most of the meat? If I saw a sawn bone I'd automatically think butcher, but then my life isn't very exciting that way.

The second thing is, how can the finding of a bone be connected to you losing your driver's licence? This is a driving licence, right? Presumably you'd have to be out of your car to find the bone. I just don't see a connection there. Unless you found a human bone in your car, in which case losing your licence is the least of your problems.

Did you remove the bone from the scene? Because that could get you into some trouble. And if not, can't you go back with someone else who's not violating their licence (I still don't get it) and "discover" it with them and call it in? If so, I guess you can just replace it and still rediscover it and call it in.

Whatever the situation, if you've found something that you suspect is a human bone then you have the responsibilty to call it in to the authorities. They're not going to stitch you up for minor offences if you lead them to the scene of a serious crime like murder. You did say this was hypothetical, are we talking about a dream you had?
 
1. It was showed to a doctor and was identified as a human bone.

2. There was a violation of the provisoinal license, which means the driver could get points on their license. I see you don't live in the US ( i think from the location u have displayed ) in the USA you get a provisional license before you get your real one. You have it for a year. You can only have one person in the car, or one in house family member and a friend. You can't leave state and you can't drive past midnight or before 5AM. So, by having 3 people in the car it violates the provisonal license.

3. Yes, the bone was removed because the people involved wanted to make sure it was a human bone before they called the police, as to not get in trouble for calling in something fake.

4. No, it's what happened to me... and I didn't want to say that because I thought people might not believe me.
