This helps keep all of us honest and acting appropriate. It is a way of looking out for each other without putting up with bad behavior.
Alright. I concede the point that we do have the ability to signal the authorities and that it's their task to decide. I would still prefer to err (being a knight errant... he-heh!)... to err on the side of tolerance vis-à-vis the lesser attitudes that might be cathegorized as misbehavior.
