Government Pays Millions To Informers
Washington reports the federal government spent about 12 million dollars last year on paid informers, with roughly 1 000 full time and several hundred part time. The FBI ran the largest program at 250 informers, costing 3.2 million, while the rest spread across several agencies. Informers are classified as special employees, paid for housing, meals, cars, and even mistresses, with some allowed to continue illegal activities. The government defends payments as a means to eliminate major criminals.
