As a cop, have you ever busted a friend?

I really, REALLY want to go into the police academy in the mindset of going by the book. I have a friend that SAID she is willing to give up her "shady" ways in order to remain my friend. She is a "pothead" and it has me a bit torn. I know that with this career, some sacrifices have to be made in order to fully embrace the experience (especially if you have "shady" friends) and I don't want to become corrupt by keeping her out of the eyes of the police force so she can continue what she's doing. No. But I don't want to be viewed as "that 'friend' that busted her" because she associates herself with middle-men.

I know that when it all comes down to it, I may just have to sacrifice our friendship in order to continue down the path I'm choosing to go down. If you were in that situation, what would you do? (If you wanted to go by the book and not keep a special list of people that are exempt from certain warnings & laws, such as traffic violations, DUIs, DWIs, etc.) I plan on attending the police academy locally in the spring or fall of 2013, so she has time to clean up her act (if she really IS a friend of mine, that is). I really don't want to lose her because we've been friends since I was in the 10th grade (she was in the 11th grade at the time). So, we've known each other for over 6 years. We're really close, and this is the ultimate test of our friendship.

If she is truly your friend, she will stop. If not, you don't need friends that are bad like that. You do have to bust a friend if they are doing wrong. She has to learn too. Think of it like this, a kid wants to steal some candy. You can either be the bad parent that keeps them out of trouble by smacking the kid for stealing, or you can be the cool parent whose kid ends up in prison for stealing. If she is bad, drop her ***. She is only gonna bring you down in your police career by doing illegal activities.
