"If you refuse to utter them, the group will not accept you as a member, you will fail to infiltrate them, their planned terrorist attack will not be discovered

"If you refuse to utter them, the group will not accept you as a member, you will fail to infiltrate them, their planned terrorist attack will not be discovered in time, and innocent people will be murdered in an attack on the minorities the slurs target."
Valid point overall.
But the problem with undercover agents infiltrating terrorists are not really racial slurs. To be accepted among real terrorists, one has to do real terrorism.
(book recommendation: The Little Drummer Girl by John le Carré)

- bernawil 4y ago"Infiltrating animal rights groups" sounds like a plot by the cops to rake overtime and get laid in the meantime. I can't even begin to imagine how they sold it to their superiors. They all must have been in the scam.

- hutzlibu 4y agoThanks for the book recommendation. And about the news links, since we are talking about environmental and animal rights protest groups, I would say the terrorism here comes from the police. Making a baby for better undercover credibility is very low and in no relationship to the threat of the quite harmles activists. But this is a good indicator, of how willing the secret forces are, when it comes to real terrorists. There were years of investigations into the NSU in germany (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Underground https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Underground) for example and how close exactly the double agents were to the terrorists and how much involved.
