LEOs Warned: Do Not Visit Whosarat: Cryptome brings us this interesting memo from a government agency about the Web site Who’s a Rat, which we’re talked about before.
Visiting the site could result in the compromise of government IP addresses. Searching the site for a particular name could result in that name being cross-indexed to the IP address of the computer used to make the inquiry. Searching for the names of officers or informants could compromise those individual’s identities. Any website is capable of collecting IP address and search information from visitors, but this site is remarkable because it makes visitor information public.
I’m trying to nail down the scenario here. Say I’m a cop, and I have a confidential information named Willie the Weasel. I’m interested to see if he’s on Who’s a Rat, so I go search for his name.
Now, the proprietor’s of Who’s a Rat can see that someone searched for “Willie the Weasel,” and they have my IP address. If they trace this IP back to the local police department…does that tell them anything? I’m not sure, I guess.
Cops smell rodent at `rat'-outing Web site: Here's a story about "Who's a Rat," the Web site that "outs" government informats. The backstory: "It's something that's been needed for a long time. I'm trying to level the playing field," said Bucci, 31, who is fighting marijuana dealing charges that landed…
Who's A Rat - Largest Online Database of Informants and Agents: I'm fascinated at the legal implications of a site like this. Who's A Rat is a database driven website designed to assist attorneys and criminal defendants with few resources. The purpose of this website is for individuals and attorneys to…
Someone here smells like a RAT. With this attempt to scare people from utilizing a great source of information.
ok everyone is quick to call everyone a rat, but if you were 18 facing 5 years 3 years mandatory would you do it? say that jail sentence ruined your life... ruined all oppurtunities for being a normal human being... also what if the people you "ratted" on also ratted does it even make a fucking differnece. The fact is when most people get arrested they snitch, some people may not sign up as a CI but they give names and they snitch, and these are the people calling eachother rats. If someone rats on you its your fault for dealing with that person those are the rules of the game, the people who complain about everyone being a rat is a sore looser cause they cant handle the fact that someone out smarted them. Because if your really smart you wont let someone who will tell the police get near you. Also most of the people who got ratted on were ratted on because they know the person there ratting on wont do shyt or would rat on someone themself. if you put fear in someones soul, and let the know if you ratted on them they would die, chances are they woudlnt rat, because in the first place someone who rats is scared. so everyone whos never been arrested keep calling people rats, until you get knocked with a 5 or 10 year sentence, or wait even better you know what can happen if you sell drugs and take the easy way out so dont do it, this shit makes me sick how people are so ignorant, fucking fake gangsters who where these stop snitchn shirts
Well I for the sake of not wasting our time i will make this short. Guess I have had years over my head and oppurtunities to cooperate " List Three Get A New TV" type deals and I kept my mouth shut. For one reason especially , rats are a green light in all prisons and county lock ups. Whats a green light? A mandatory beating and or killing of any known snitches. Any con can get this information. I have witnessed actual paperwork on onformants being passed around the joint and i have seen the after effects. I dont know about you but i aint gonna say shit, do crime do the time....comfortably
where the proof !
Do the crime, do the time. Don't rat out someone else to do your time for you.
STOP SNITCHING YOU YELLOW BELLY DO THE CRIME BUT TURN BITCH WHEN YOU HEAR THE TIME SNITCHES GET PUT IN DITCHES BELIEVE THAT!!
I think that some snitches may not be guilty of a crime, but at the wrong place at the wrong time or just happen to Know some information that can be helping the goverment take down some bad people. But to expose them is not right if they are trying to help out. Yes, I know that their are alot of guilty people out there that are just snitching to get a lighter sentence, but one way or another they will get there,s. But there are also alot of people in jail that aren't guilty and yet they are still being punished for something that they didn't do.This site will and could put them in danger. What if someone said that someone was a snitch and they really weren't, they would be in danger and maybe even their family's. What is the point of exposing them? One wrong doesn't always make a right!
Hey Marion what about innocent people that are ratted on by scumbag addicts? This is why lots of people hate rats. I've seen it myself and I am not a druggie. Just a young guy growing up in America's working class. I've seen innocent friends and acquaintences set up by scum.
One example a friend hooked on drugs goes to re-hab and is clean for a year. Things are looking good, then the snitch addict find outs where he is at, Next thing you know my friend is back using because mr. snitch brought him free drugs... And then he sets him up on you guessed it, federal charges. What a great system. And the snitch is still using, buying, a criminal, paid and protected by police to set up patsies. Paid snitches create crime for police that are to lazy to find it themselves.
Why don't you care about innocent people that were set up by snitches?
Whitey Bulger the biggest rat of all, protected by the FBI was a serial killer and killed many people.
Look if I saw a murder or somebody innocent being hurt I would testify, help the police. Most people are like that. But it's scary because many younger people won't even help with that because of this paid confidential informant crap that goes down with innocent people railroaded and jailed...
Why doesn't that bother you?
I think snitching is wrong and it should'nt be allow , its crazy that city police and FBI reaally dont protect you , instead they use informant to do there work and then leave them for dead . true story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
An innocent person cannot be a rat. A rat is a person that commits various crimes knowingly and walks away with no with no concept of the law or consequences. All they have to do is name 3 other people (usually) Then they get out of jail (with a clean slate) carry on with their normal criminal behavior, hangout with their "friends" knowing that they are about to go to jail. Sick. These people are being rewarded for their criminal behavior (drugs, often burglary and even VIOLENCE). Its bad enough that these people are getting away from their sentances but our legal system has higher regards for cowards than a person who does their time. This doesn't make any sense! Only idiots don't think about what might happen if they caught.
i was the go to guy still maybe depends on who u ask i was set by a female i had known for almost 10 yes ten years it was called a reverse by on a front if it wasnt for the cops and there dope and some persuation by a fucking needle junky i would have been at home if it werent for people dropping names in the first place bitch made niggers aka GANGSTERS MY WHITE ASS............... DICK EATING PUSSY HATING BONIFIED RATS AND FOR WHAT CAUSE THEY GET JUNKED OUT AND CANT HANDLE THEIR ACTIONS I GET SET UP YOU WHO TELL WILL GET WHATS COMING TO THEM
I think that FORTHEIRRIGHTTOKNOW is a snitch himself. If he thinks what he did was right, hes mistaken. If you do the crime, YOU yourself should deal with the aftermath. Fuck them snitches ... and ill say it as many times as i please. Just so you can get off easier, your going to ruin someoe elses life? FORTHEIRRIGHTTOKNOW says "this shit makes me sick how people are so ignorant, fucking fake gangsters who where these stop snitchn shirts " well youknow what SNITCH? it makes me fucking sick how people thnk they can do what they want and if they get caught they can just rat someone out and get away with it. People like him are loooooosers, snitches dont deserve respect one bit, they dont deserve shit in life but disrespect.
FUCK SNITCHES
I dont think nothing worse ever happened then this whole 'You'ze a fukin Snitch Era' i was with my best friend and we done something wrong and i dont know exactly how but they knew exactly what happened before they even came to talk to me or my friend. they come to my house first tho, i lied and lied, and denied and denied for me and my friend both but despite my efforts they still took me sttraight to jail. in the end me and my friend both got charged and got in trouble(i got in more bcause i had a couple old warrants.) but the point is just because they came to my house first i got labeled a 'Snitch'. like 60% of my fucking town thinks that. i swear to god its bullshit and it gets on my fucking nerves. im about ready to fucking shoot someone..
It's a tough call on which is worse, a snitch that knows you'll fuck him up, or re-locate him out of state in many other states simultaneously, or a dirty cop like Wesley Little from Huntsville Police dept in Alabama, whom just got busted for having what? Unregistered handgun with altered serial, and weed in his cruiser planting shit on people. And yes it's a real story just google it. I've known this piece of shit since Jr. High, and all you can do is just shake your head when fuckers like this get badges. Rule of Thumb: No one can snitch if you do your dirt "SOLO"
