True, police are allowed to withhold the identity of an informant from defense in a trial, informats are protected by the law and the police departments, sometimes they are placed in situations just to find out any information related to a case, and colaborate with the securities bodies, if the law didn´t protect their anonymity, they probably would not do it, affecting the good performance of the police.
