I know this is kind of old news, but this story needs to continue to be circulated. And that is the story of Rachel Hoffman.

Rachel Hoffman is dead now, because she acted as an informant for the Tallahassee police. Basically, the police arrested Rachel for possession of marijuana and ecstasy after raiding her apartment. They then threatened her with prison time, but offered to drop the charges if she became an informant for them. She agreed to do it, even though she did not have a lawyer present at the time.

Excellent write up at The Agitator, by Radley Balko, one of my favorite bloggers. Original story
