You must not include the option "turn yourself in" (I assume to the police) when you consider the possible actions you could take.

It is the opposite of "on the table."

In American English, "on the table" means something that is valid for discussion. A discussion paper that is "on the table" will be read and considered by the people sitting around the table.

In politics, diplomats will very often agree what is "on the table" and "off the table" before a sensitive meeting. For example in discussions of making peace in Syria, the option for Bashar al-Assad to resign was agreed to be "off the table." Otherwise, the government representatives would not attend the meeting.
