No. It doesn't. If Honesty was intended to do that it wouldn't give a +1 reaction bonus. That bonus is based on you being a trustworthy person, someone who can relied upon to fulfill their promises but that doesn't work if you're the untrustworthy bane of everyone's existence. Calling cops on people isn't doing your best to get them to obey the law. It's just trying to get them punished for not obeying the law after the fact which is something different.

And GURPS Honest characters explicitly may lie as long as their lies are technically legal. With careful attention to fraud statues where they are, they can absolutely cheat and steal, as long as they take care to do it in jurisdictions without robust business legislation.

Honest characters may lie. They can say "I am definitely Clark Kent and not Superman. Superman doesn't need glasses!". They may not break promises. Anything they contract to do, verbally or in writing is something they must do.
