Rats!

Rats! Your guide to protecting yourself against snitches, informers, informants, agents provocateurs, narcs, finks, and similar vermin

This book is for you if ...
You are a non-violent person engaged in any activity that may be controversial, illegal, or merely "sensitive" or unconventional. These days, anything out of the ordinary can make you a target.

Some people who could use this book:
Anti-war or environmental activists
Recreational drug users
Participants in the underground economy or anybody who does business in cash
Critics of local or national powers-that-be
Anyone whose profession involves "sensitive" information or activities
Gun owners or dealers
Third-party or "fringe" political activists
Hobbyists who work with dangerous materials
Photographers/videographers
Religious dissidents
People with offshore or unconventional investments
(including perfectly legitimate ones)

It doesn't matter where you fall in the political spectrum or even if you're apolitical. If police might target you or your activities, you need to understand how snitches could mess up your life.

From the Acknowledgements section of the book:

"Despite the lack of credits, this book was truly a collaborative project. Contributors included lawyers, former cops, security specialists, political activists, members of the drug culture, business executives in "sensitive" fields, outlaw bikers, and in a couple of cases people whose identities are so deeply secret that I couldn't credit them even if I wanted to. (To guard against the possibility of any snitch sympathizer planting misleading information, outlaws, former snitch victims, and lawyers checked the text after more "official" folk had their say.
I'm relieved to state that, while many people added valuable information as the book grew, nobody in this very experienced crowd spotted anything false or suspiciously "coppish." )"
