Situated informant 

A person law enforcement cooperates with to put in a situation to build a case against another.

"There's the main rat Mildred being a situated informant once again; looking around left and right before getting into her car and leaving to make sure nobody sees her talk to the police."

Also known to run with a ragtag police department whose incompetence

is so horrible they've issued warrants for individuals in supermax prisons and probation violation warrants for dead people based on sketchy eyewitnesses.

Theory of Informal Social Control

The study of the unofficial, uncodified, but powerful ways that societies and groups enforce norms and punish deviance. This includes gossip, ridicule, ostracism, shaming, social approval/disapproval, and the internalization of norms (guilt, shame). It's the "soft" but often more pervasive and psychologically potent architecture of control, operating in families, workplaces, and communities.

Theory of Informal Social Control Example: In a small town, someone who violates a strong but unwritten norm (like publicly criticizing a beloved local tradition) might not be arrested. Instead, they face Informal Social Control: neighbors stop greeting them, they are excluded from community events, and their business suffers from quiet boycotts. This social pressure is often more effective than a law.

police informants 

Police informants are bitches or "snitch bitches." They are mostly previously caught wannabe drug dealers that turn rat when facing criminal charges. If executed correctly, they could get a police paycheck for their efforts. They don't want to face criminal charges or go to jail so they live a life of shame. Even though they act as friends, they're just faking it to get information from you that leads to an arrest. They could never be trusted. They are desperate to make new drug-dealer friends to promptly turn them over to the proper authorities. When extremely desperate, they could even turn over their best of friends just to report a new bust. They are very dangerous. Buying drugs from police informants count as a drug bust to local police enforcement. Even more so, they are encouraged by the police to sell drugs to younger kids and destroy their lives even if they had no previous criminal history. Hence the "Fuck the police," "Snitches get stitches" and "Snitches end up in ditches" expressions. To clarify the latter, police informants usually get murdered for treason or raped in jail if placed in the general population rather than protective custody. This phenomenon in the "war on drugs" could be explained as "easy busts" for local law enforcement. Wannabe drug dealers are being arrested as an easy bust to justify the local police enforcment's anual federal budget aids for criminal investigations that lead to the arrest and conviction of high-profile drug dealers.

Ex. Man, these police informants are all over the place, let's get the fuck out of here.

Ex. He used to be my friend but now he's working with other police informants and I don't talk to cops.
