Legal Question in Criminal Law in Missouri

Probation does not automatically render a person unable to give evidence. But, the underlying crime (for which they are in probation) might discount their credibility.

Good luck

If you are in a situation where law enforcement is talking about you being a "confidential informer" you absolutely need an attorney before doing anything! I have had tons of experience with these cases over the last 35 years. The authorities can lie to you, and make promises to you that they will never keep. After they use you for everything they possibly can, you will be prosecuted and perhaps have your current probation revoked. In some cases we are able to set up an agreement in writing that can be enforced in Court, but this is not something that you should try to get through on your own. Please consult with an attorney. If you are in my area I might be able to offer my services to you for a reasonable fee. You may contact me directly for a free, confidential consultation. Do not trust the people who have a duty to enforce the law. That would be a HUGE mistake.
