Interesting, the negative connotation might have been a legacy of prohibition.
It's unfortunate that people don't feel the same about the war on drugs, simply because it mostly effects minorities.
- jeltz 13y agoI don't think so. I have a negative connotation and I am not American. I would more guess it is American propaganda around the war of drugs which is trying to make informant sound like a good thing. When I hear informant I think of organizations like Stasi.
- klibertp 13y agoIt's more "collaborator" a bit east from you, "informant" has a more neutral meaning here.
