    CI? Criminal Informant?

    If you’re law enforcement or part of the DoC, you probably have better places to ask. I you’re caught in an undercover sting, you can talk with a public attorney at the very least. eitherway, there’s more reliable sources of information.

      They’re confidential informants where I’m from - regional differences isn’t surprising, wonder how it’s abbreviated for other languages.

        Confidential informants are a bit different, here.

        One is a low level perp you let slide because they nark on bigger fish, the other is just a random person who may have information that’s sensitive, not necessarily themselves criminal.

        Either way, though, that probably goes to entrapment. And if OP’s not a LEO, and still trying to get some one jammed up, there’s probably a slew of charges there- especially if the motive is leverage.
