In the United States when the topic of informant come's up, the norm is to assume it relates to a police matter. In some communities and pockets of poverty stricken areas in major cities....to be labeled a snitch (a.k.a. informant) can get you killed or maybe some of your loved ones as well. Ironically it is a statistical fact that much crime would go unsolved were it not for confidential informants. Myself, I'm not into ratting on fellow human beings struggling to survive in a crazy world no matter what they could be into long as they aren't being violent and hurting anybody. Now if I became aware of a heinous murderer or child molester I would not hesitate to report that information to the police.
