"Information Money"
You may be interested that DCI's standing order on information money provides, inter alia,
"MOTS:
up to $70 per person, maximum $300 MOTS with offensive weapon: $150 per person
up to maximum $300
Triad officer bearer, up to $500 payable on
conviction
Assault with triad background: $100 per person
convicted up to a maximum of $500."
This is only a small part of a complete list of amounts payable for crimes which is displayed. What I am told happens is that on such arrests the entry in the report book states: "acting on information" and information money is applied for, paid, and usually shared between
the
'informer" and the police (the latter getting the lion's share, the former a small amount for his "signature").
