SNITCH Exposed in Charlie Lynch Case by Kylie Mendonca

The ( Involuntary ) Confessions of a Confidential Informant

Snitches. Rats. Turncoats. Squealers. There's no shortage of names for people who start their criminal justice career on one side of the law, and then, through a series of self-preserving acts, find themselves working on the opposite side as confidential informants. Police informants get evidence, they help make cases, and they put themselves in danger to do it. Cops and prosecutors call them indispensable.

"The informant created a drug deal
that never would have happened otherwise,"

Will Foster and Justice, Oklahoma Style

Will Foster became a poster child for the mindless cruelties of the drug war more than a decade ago. The Tulsa small businessman and medical marijuana user -- he suffers from degenerative arthritis -- was raided by police with a warrant for a methamphetamine lab back in 1993. Police found no meth, but they did find a small marijuana garden. The unfortunate Foster was quickly sentenced to a mind-blowing 93 years in prison.

"unreviewable and irreversible power [of the jury] to acquit in disregard of the instruction of the law given by the trial judge. The pages of history shine upon instances of the jury's exercise of its prerogative to disregard instructions of the judge"
-- D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, 1972

'Relax Your Muscles as Much as Possible'

What Would Sun Tzu Do?
By Ed Rosenthal - Thursday, July 9 2009
"Although medical marijuana is legal in certain states, police still feel that they have a right to bust marijuana users, that it is part of their job description. Although marijuana users might feel good about these laws loosening, the police feel they have lost a fun means of building up arrests and ruining lives. They resent it. What fun is it going out on the beat if you cant beat some hippie and then arrest him for resisting arrest?"

CALIFORNIA BUDGET CRISIS
COULD GUT STATE NARCS, DRUG TASK FORCES
It's not just teachers, health care, and parks that are facing the budget axe in California. Some state narcs could be out of a job, too.

Kind of fits in with jury nullification: Either you're working to fix the problem, or you're a part of it.
