Criminal Informants? In most translations, a contradiction in terms. Is this individual a criminal who has information that could prove beneficial or productive by any means in our allegedly democratic society? Is this maybe someone who has valuable information on a particular criminal, group of criminals, or some form of criminal activity that could prove beneficial or productive by any means in our allegedly democratic society? Wait a moment, hold on here. I know now. This must be a law abiding citizen with no ties to criminal activity that is simply concerned with the tragic downturn that our society is taking. Or could they truly have an agenda that has the well being of everyone who may be affected by this type of activity in mind. This person must truly be concerned with the unraveling of our very moral fiber, and is doing his or her part to truly help. That has got to be it!! But hold on, what would we call that individual or a group of individuals with that end to their means? Probably a neighborhood watch, or even a vigilante if things were taken to an extreme. Whatever the case, whatever the cause, whatever the motivation, the fact of the matter is-these criminal informants, are criminals none-the-less.

So, here we go. Could it be that a criminal informant is exactly what it means. Could this literally mean that there are criminals who have been tried and convicted of criminal activity that they've either perpetrated on their own, or in cahoots with others, and they have good information to pass along about other criminals. So, am I to understand that these people have had a sudden change of heart, or have seen the so called light? What other reason could these convicted felons have to set up, or snitch on an innocent individual, or on a person with no pre-disposition to break the law in such an egregious manner. I suppose the question should be-If there was no personal gain to be had from this activity they call snitching, or ratting, or whatever, why would these criminals be doing it to begin with?

Listen to this-A man and the woman he loves get a motel room together. They have a couple children together, and have had a very loving relationship for several years. For some reason a police officer proceeded to knock on the motel door, because he said he saw the woman in a car that she did not own. I wonder how he knew that. She was from a city more than 20 miles away. No matter, this cop goes into the motel room and proceeds to look around. Whether the search was legal or not remains to be seen, that's not my point here. Anyhow this police officer finds drugs, and proceeds to arrest the gal. Her husband is not in the room at this time. The cop doesn't know if he was ever there. At any rate this gal tells the lawman that she doesn't know anything about the drugs. Long story short, in the paper today I see an article about this ordeal. As it turns out, the DA offered this woman a deal. No charges, if she would testify that she did not know the drugs were there, and that they must belong to her husband. Now this poor guy wasn't even in the room, and as far as Johnny Law knew, he hadn't been there at all.
You can bet your bottom dollar that the loving father and husband told his fair lady to let him take the hit, and if she must testify against him, then that's how its got to be. Now, of course there are clauses in the law that says a fair damsel does not have to testify against her knight, but that doesn't mean she can't do it to save herself if she so desires. In this case, I'm sure the Mister is in full agreement. Who knows how it will all turn out? A good defense attorney-heck even Joe average-should be able to tear this one up.

That being said, this is becoming more and more prevalent in the so called war on drugs. When our authorities were refering to crime control, I was unaware that what they meant was, that they would be in control of when, where, and to whom crime happens. This underhanded practice is turning families, friends, and anyone else involved, against one another, and into something that goes against everything we have ever learned of loyalty, and family, and true friendship. It is criminalizing perfectly honest and innocent, and otherwise law abiding citizens, with the use of coercion, threats, and every below the belt shot that can be applied in the interest of self promotion on the part of the authorities, and self preservation on the part of the snitches, rats, informants. Did we all forget that very early lesson that each and every one of us were taught, or had beat into us by the neighborhood bully? DON'T BE A TATTLE TALE!
