When it is permitted to pay informants for information?

What will be an ideal response?


Informant payments should be sufficiently modest as to avoid defense accusations of entrapment. When this occurs, the defense will maintain that the investigator’s payment to the informant was so high that the informant was enticed into “setting up” the suspect solely for the monetary reward.
