O safbwynt defnyddio CHIS gan ACC, mae'n bosibl y gallai math o berthynas debyg i CHIS godi, nid oherwydd bod ACC wedi ceisio hynny neu gymell unigolyn i fod yn CHIS, ond yn hytrach am fod ACC yn ymateb i wybodaeth na ofynnwyd amdani oddi wrth unigolion o dan rai amgylchiadau. Heb y gallu i awdurdodi CHIS o dan RIPA, byddai gallu gorfodi ACC yn cael ei lesteirio, am na allai staff ACC ofyn yn gyfreithlon am wybodaeth bellach mewn sefyllfa o'r fath.
In terms of the use of CHIS by WRA, it is conceivable that a CHIS type relationship could arise, not because WRA has proactively sought that or induced an individual to be a CHIS, but rather because WRA reacts to unrequested communication from individuals in certain circumstances. Without the ability to authorise a CHIS under RIPA, WRA’s enforcement capability would be hampered, because WRA staff could not lawfully ask for further information in such a situation.
