Informant sues for $ 10 million

Many law enforcement agencies are quite happy to sign up confidential informants with no real consideration given to the risks they are running.

Here is a case from Alabama where a Sheriffs department is being sued for $10 million

Drug informant shot 15 times sues Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out and how much if anything is paid out.
