For context, this is from terminator 2 where the protagonist is saved by his best friend in the first 30 min of the film by lying to a terminator cyborg from the future posing as a cop.

j. Non-permissive environment: An environment in which friendly forces anticipate obstructions to, or interference with, operations.

Corpo executives and billionaires about to find out that no matter the snitch line reward money they put up, people magically didn’t see anything.

Policing requires a degree of consent from the public, you’ll be turning away search party volunteers for a child kidnapping, but I don’t see a line of people ready to narc on shoplifting or drug possession.

That, and it's a health insurance company.

They can offer whatever rewatd they want. Their entire business model is based on promising to provide money before refusing to cough it up.

They'll find ways to deny it. Saying that the information in and of itself was insufficient as they needed to send someone out there with a firearm, therefore providing further health insurance liabilities and therefore nullifies the reward.

You get cops who think they are the Punisher and citizens who hate the cops on the beat.
