The money is taxable income and should be reported. If it is over $600 they must receive a W-2 and the payor reports it to the IRS. Large amounts paid as part of a TIPS program or such may even be subject to having withholding taken (similar to winning at a casino).

A police informer is a person who provides privileged information about a person or organization to an agency. They are often called confidential or criminal informants (CI).

There's a couple of really common reasons for this. 1; Good behavior. The court can decide to do a sentence-reduction for good behavior. 2; Information. Informants can trade information for time taken off of their sentence.

There are several reasons why police records should remain confidential. The first one; the release of sensitive information related to a crime or criminal act can serve to compromise an ongoing criminal investigation. Another reason police records should remain confidential is when they apply to juvenile proceedings. Reasoning behind this is that the release of information related to juveniles such as their names, crimes and/or victimization may lead to the stigmatization of the juvenile in question thereby preventing or inhibiting their rehabilitation and/or recovery. A further reason behind the confidentiality of police records (though a rare one) is the compromising of a criminal case due to contamination of the jurors. Lastly, police reports may contain information related to a witness and possibly the informants involved in the case and the release of such information can compromise their safety particularly in circumstances surrounding police informants.

Police often offer various incentives for information that can help solve crimes or lead to arrests. This can include monetary rewards, anonymity for informants, and assurances of protection for those who provide critical insights. Such programs aim to encourage community involvement and cooperation, ultimately enhancing public safety and crime resolution efforts. Additionally, police may utilize social media and public appeals to solicit tips from the community.
