immunity agreements

Immunity agreements are legal arrangements where a person, often a witness or a suspect, is granted protection from prosecution for certain actions in exchange for providing information or testimony. This means that if they cooperate with authorities, they cannot be charged for crimes related to their cooperation. These agreements encourage openness and can help law enforcement investigate more serious crimes by securing crucial evidence or testimony that might otherwise remain hidden. However, the specifics can vary, and such agreements typically have limits and conditions.
