Stahl when many of us hear the term confidential informants or, as Law Enforcement calls them, c. I. S we think of mobsters wearing a wire to ensnare their bosses and get themselves a better deal. But theres another kind of confidential informant out there that doesnt quite fit the may be far more common young people, many of them College Students caught selling small amounts of marijuana, who are recruited by Law Enforcement to wear a wire and make undercover drug buys in exchange for having their charges reduced or dropped altogether. Its a practice we discovered thats going on across the country, largely under the radar and, in some cases, with tragic consequences. Jason weber hows it going today . Andrew sadek all right. Weber its your birthday today. Sadek yeah. Weber probably not what you want to be doing on your birthday, huh . Stahl what youre looking at is Police Footage of the making of a confidential informant. Narcotics officer jason weber is recruiting a College Student whod been caught making two small marijuana sales to become a c. I. Weber all right. Well, you expressed interest that you probably want to help yourself out. Sadek yeah. Weber were always trying to go up the chain. And so what we want to do is have them buy from their stahl weber is the chief of a fourcounty Drug Task Force in eastern north dakota and western minnesota. How important do you think confidential informants are to your task . Weber yeah, confidential informants are really important to Law Enforcement across the country. They make our jobs easier just because they are already the ones that are out there that know who the drugs dealers are and rely on them. Stahl are most of the kids that youre recruiting caught for marijuana sales . Weber the big majority, yeah. Stahl webers jurisdiction includes the campus of the north Dakota State College of science, with some 3,000 students. Marijuana is now legal in four states and the district of columbia, but not in north dakota, where selling even a small amount on a campus is a classa felony with a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, a fine of 20,000, or both. This young man, andrew sadek, confidential informant making two sales for a total of 80. Weber has called sadek in before charging him to present a choice agree to work as a c. I. , wear a wire and make undercover drug buys from three people, twice each or be charged with two classa felonies. Weber potentially, the max is 40 years in prison, 40,000 fine. You understand that . Sadek yeah. Weber okay. Obviously, youre probably not going to get 40 years, but is it a good possibility that youre going to get some prison time if you dont help yourself out . Yeah, there is, okay . Thats probably not a way to start off your young adult life and career, right . Stahl sadek took the deal. Weber told us most students do. Part of the agreement he signed keep the whole thing strictly to himself. Weber you cant tell anybody youre working for me, obvious. For obvious reasons. Stahl an awardwinning student of electrical technology, andrew sadek did as he was told never told any of his Close Friends about being an informant, never called a lawyer, and didnt breathe a word to his parents, tammy and john sadek. The sadeks are a ranching family still struggling with the death of their older son in a train accident years earlier, leaving andrew an only child. If andrew had told you that he was thinking of becoming a confidential informant, what do you think your reaction wouldve been . Tammy sadek wed have gotten him a lawyer and told him, no. John sadek weve never heard of such a thing, you know, using College Students for snitches or whatever you want to call them, stool pigeons or i dont know what you call them, you know . Lance block theres no parent that i know of who would allow their child or want their child to serve as a confidential informant. Stahl to set up a drug deal. Block yeah. I mean, its too dangerous. No, i wouldnt want my child to do it. Stahl lance block is an attorney in tallahassee, florida, who opposes using young people caught for relatively informants. Block these kids are being recruited to do the most dangerous type of police work. No background, training, or experience. They havent been to the police academy. Stahl so they are basically doing the same work as a trained undercover cop . Block absolutely. Stahl block says he was unaware police were using young people as confidential informants until he was hired seven years ago by the family of rachel hoffman, a recent College Graduate who was caught with a large stash of marijuana and a few valium and ecstasy pills. It was her second marijuana arrest. Block she was caught by the Tallahassee Police department and told that if she didnt become a confidential informant, she was looking at four years in prison. Stahl she signed up, and a few weeks later, was sent out to make her first undercover drug buy. It was to be one of the biggest in tallahassees recent history 1,500 ecstasy pills, an ounce and a half of cocaine, and a gun. Had she ever dealt in any of those things . Block no. Stahl a gun . Had she ever fired a gun . Block no. Rachel was a pothead. And rachel sold marijuana to her friends out of her home, but rachel wasnt dealing in ecstasy or cocaine, much less. Of course not weapons. Stahl rachel drove her car alone to meet the dealers in the police and a wire in her purse. She was to be monitored by some 20 officers. But then, the dealers changed the location of the deal, so rachel drove away from the police staging area, and thats when things went terribly wrong. Block the drug dealers have her out on this road. One drug dealer gets into the car with her. Stahl and the 20 cops who were nearby . Block they lost her. Hoffman is 57, 135 pounds. She was last seen. Hoffman was seen wednesday night at about 7 00 near Forest Meadows park. Block they shot her five times when they found the wire in her purse and dumped her body in a ditch 50 miles away. Stahl rachel hoffmans tragic death turned block into an advocate. He sued the city of tallahassee and won a 2. 8 million settlement for rachels parents, and he has argued for more openness and greater protection for confidential informants ever since. Do you have any sense of how many confidential informants there are . Block Law Enforcement is loaded with statistics. But you cannot find out any information about the number of confidential informants that are being used across this country, much less the number of people who are being killed or injured. Stahl no ones keeping statistics . Block no one. Its a shadowy underworld is what it is. Brian sallee we want to make more cases. We want to make better cases that can get prosecuted. Informants can do that. Stahl brian sallee is a longtime undercover narcotics officer who believes a shadowy underworld is exactly what working with c. I. S should be shadowy to protect informants identities, and underworld because thats where cops like him want informants to take them. Sallee who knows the most about the dope trade . Is it us working narcotics . No. Who is it . The sellers, the dopers. Stahl sallee says hes worked with hundreds of informants, and now trains Police Officers around the country on how best to use them. If you had not been able, personally, to use confidential informants, would you have been as effective . Sallee nowhere near as effective. Stahl you really feel you need this. Sallee oh, i know i would not. I may have to watch a house for days or weeks to establish probable cause. My informant goes in and makes a buy out of it, and i have my probable cause in five minutes. You can get into cases quicker, easier, in some respects, safer. Stahl im surprised you say safer, because weve heard about kids whove been killed doing these operations. Sallee its a dangerous trade that theyre involved in. Stahl yeah. Sallee they are in that drug trade. Theyve always been facing that potential danger. Stahl sallee estimates there could be as many as 100,000 confidential informants working with Police Across the country, and he says, with just a few tragic exceptions, its a win win a win for society and a win for the c. I. Sallee they have agreed to do what they are doing in exchange for something. Thats the bottom line. When somebody comes to work for me as an informant, its their decision. Stahl police tell us that this is completely voluntary, and they want to do this to get rid of the charges. Block its not something that college kids are standing up, saying, i want to be a c. I. Its not voluntary. They agree to do deals for the police department. Stahl and there are some important things theyre not being told. So what if you catch me selling 60 worth of marijuana . What do you say to me to become an informant . Sallee ill say, this is the charge. This is a felony. Do you want to help yourself out . Stahl do you tell me that i have a right to talk to a lawyer . Sallee no, i do not. I tell you you have a right to talk to a lawyer if im going to ask you incriminating questions. If were talking about your becoming an informant, i dont have to tell you that you have a right to a lawyer. Weber all right. Stahl thats because, since police often recruit confidential informants before charging them and without arresting them, theyre not obligated by law to read them their rights. And weber didnt with andrew sadek. He told us sadek made three successful undercover drug buys as a c. I. , half the number hed been told was required of him. Weber says sadek was warned he would soon be charged if he didnt continue. Then one night, a few weeks shy of graduation, security cameras snapped these pictures of sadek walking out of his dorm at 2 00 a. M. On a thursday morning. A day and a half later, he had not come back. Tammy sadek we got a call from the campus at about noon on friday. Stahl still completely unaware of their sons work as a confidential informant, andrews parents were soon on campus, making a public plea for his return. Tammy sadek we love you, and we want you. We need you to come home. John sadek everything will be okay. Stahl there were searches, prayer vigils. And then, two months later, the worst news possible andrews body was discovered in a river near the campus, his backpack weighted down with rocks, its straps tied together across his chest. Did they tell you what the cause of death was . Tammy sadek gunshot to the head. Stahl a year and a half later, thats about all the sadeks have been told. No one has been charged in andrews death, and the gun that killed him has not been found. Police deny he was involved in any c. I. Operation the night he disappeared, and have suggested to his parents that he may have shot himself, a possibility they say is inconceivable. Theyre convinced their son was murdered as a result of his work as an informant, and they want the confidential recruitment of Young Offenders as c. I. S to stop. Tammy sadek its ridiculous. Ridiculous. Stop doing it. Slap their hands. Fine them. Put them in jail. Expel them. I dont care. Stop using our kids to do your jobs. Stahl andrew sadeks death so neither the state agencies in charge of the case, nor jason weber, would talk about it. But we did ask about putting these kids at risk. Andrew sadek was caught selling 80 worth of marijuana. People have said to us, its just not worth it. Its not worth putting the kid in any kind of risky situation for that little. Weber you know, a drug dealer is a drug dealer, whether you sell a big amount or a small amount, whether you do it once or if you do it 100 times. While its still against the law, part of our duty as Law Enforcement is to get the drugs off the streets and to get the drug dealers off the streets. Stahl so how successful is what youre doing . Weber well, i think it goes back to the point, if we dont try something or if we dont do that, then were truly losing that. The war on drugs. Stahl isnt it more important to go after heroin, meth, cocaine . Weber yeah, our agency goes after all them. Stahl im still trying to get at the equation, you know what i mean . Is it worth it, for marijuana . Weber yeah. There again, i got to go back to, you know, as long as its a crime, it is my duty as a Police Officer to enforce criminal law. Stahl weve spoken to College Students who talk about how they were pressured into becoming confidential informants. It felt like i had a gun to my head. Stahl that part of the story, when we come back. Cbs money watch update sponsored by lincoln financial, calling all chief life officers. Glor good evening. Lufthansa says a man was restrained after he threatened to open a plane door. Greece has approved a 2016 budget with sharp spending cuts. And the united autoworkers want to vote for represent dentation im jeff glor, cbs news. My mom and i have the same hands. Same eyes. Same laugh. And since shes had moderate alzheimers disease, ive discovered we have the same fighting spirit, too. Thats why i asked her doctor about onceaday namzaric. Vo namzaric is approved for moderate to severe alzheimers disease in patients who are currently taking, and can continue to take certain doses of both namenda and donepezil. Namzaric is the first and only treatment to combine 2 proven alzheimers medicines. Into a single onceaday capsule that works 2 ways to fight the symptoms of moderate to severe alzheimers disease. Onceaday namzaric may improve cognition and overall function. And may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. It shouldnt be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, donepezil, piperidine. Or any of the ingredients in namzaric. Before starting treatment, tell the doctor about any medical conditions they have. Including heart or lung problems, seizures, stomach ulcers, bladder, kidney, or liver problems. Tell the doctor if the patient will have any procedures involving anesthesia, which may cause muscle problems. Other serious side effects may occur, including. Slow heartbeat and fainting; increased stomach acid, which may raise the chance of ulcers and bleeding. Nausea and vomiting; difficulty passing urine, seizures, and worsening of lung problems. The most common side effects associated with namzaric are headache, diarrhea, dizziness, loss of appetite, and bruising. Mom and i share a lot of moments. And were making the most of each one. Vo ask your doctor if namzaric is right for your loved one. So you wanna win the holidays, but you dont wanna put on pants .

Want to do a mitzvah this hanukkah . Support i have a dream foundation. Help a child achieve the dream of a higher education. Cbs cares. Stahl we wanted to know what the law is across the country about the use of young people as confidential informants. And we were surprised to discover that in all but a handful of states, there is no law no age limits on who can become a c. I. ; whether, informants must be trained; no guidelines on their protection. Policies are typically left up to the individual Police Departments that recruit and use the informants. And that, critics say, can and has resulted in overly aggressive recruitment tactics, traumatized and even suicidal c. I. S, and situations where kids are given incentives to entrap other kids. We looked at a case, a narcotics unit, where those charges have been leveled. Its in one of the countrys bestknown college towns, with the university itself an involved partner and funder.
