Supposedly, our job is to be observant, unbiased, and accurate. With EVERY shop we are beat over the head with the same message. Read the guidelines, comment on all NO answers and document ALL infractions.
If I found a MS company or client that wanted me to omit an infractions, I just wouldn't apply there anymore.
I've had infractions from food safety to bare electrical. Whether the infraction is compliance or safety do your job. If they don't like the report they can change it.
There are hundreds of other companies that pay you for an honest, accurate report. You know why? Simple, infractions cost money.
They WILL put an end to that @#$%&. I've gone back to locations a week later and the change is shocking.
Your input is important. You're part of the solution not the problem. Give the client what they need to make positive changes and to reward those who are positive assets.
Calling the authorities to report a dangerous situation or to keep someone from harm is your responsibility. But I would be careful getting involved in anything other than that. It may look like pirating CD's on the surface but you have no idea what or who that will lead to.
