He either got a little to good at his assignment which then lead the department to keep him going longer than originally planned or there is a lot more of this going on than we can ever imagine, if they spend so much effort on such low-risk activities as environmental activism - probably a combination of both.
- DanBC 11y agoThis case is part of a larger set of cases where very similar things happened to a bunch of women. (Long term relationships with men who were undercover police and who had been provided false identities, sometimes using the dead-child's name technique). Nothing justifies this level of abuse, but it's important to remember that "they" will say a small number of environmental and animal rights activists are extremists who use "violence" (against property, with strict rules about no violence against people). "They" will give the examples of incendiary devices in department stores that sell fur coats or anti fox hunt activists digging up a corpse, and say those were the drivers of this style of surveillance. They might forget to mention the police involvement in the incendiary devices activity. http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/jun/13/police-spies-animal-rights http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/jun/13/police-spies-anima... http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/jun/13/police http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/jun/13/police
