Help Needed: Drug War Chronicle Seeking Cases of Informant Abuse
Many of our readers know about the tragic case of Rachel Hoffman, a 23-year-old in Tallahassee, Florida, who was killed by drug dealers after police coerced her into acting as an informant without having access to an attorney. Drug War Chronicle is currently looking for cases, reported or unreported, in which police appear to have committed misconduct or made serious misjudgments in their treatment of informants.

AND THIS STORY IS 100% TRUTH
Police misconduct???
I have a friend who's son was taken into custody by the school first then the police based on the word of some peers who were caught in possession of marijuana. He was thirteen years old when this happened.
Although he has never been caught with any marijuana or other drugs and voluntarily took a hair follicle test that came back negative for any drugs. He has yet to have fifty dollars in cash and his cell phone returned to him. The incidence occurred six months ago.
If this is an interesting story more details and a first hand detailed version can be extended to you by request.
