| High school kids don’t have much of a choice when they’re recruited for undercover drug ops.
Informant deals are supposed to offer people a way out of criminal charges, but in practice these “deals” often look more like coercion. On a recent episode of Hi-Phi Nation, Barry Lam spoke to Nick Taiber, former City Council member in Cedar Falls, Iowa, about becoming an undercover drug informant when he was a teenager, and to Luke Hunt, an FBI special agent–turned–political philosopher who argues that informant deals are exploitative and contrary to the rule of law. An excerpt of the episode, condensed and edited for clarity, is transcribed below.
