Well yes. Undercover cops having sexual relationships with female activists who were doing nothing wrong or illegal is indefensible.
These tactics went on for decades, and likely still do
How much did all this cost the taxpayer?
Destroying people's private lives and those of the cops' own families?
The only illegal activities uncovered seem to be those committed by cops themselves-for which they were given permission by higher authorities!

There's a lot of interesting detail in the book.
One that stands out is that SOCA - Serious Organised Crime Authority reported that the NPOIU (the spycops unit) "lacked any form of operational impact or outcome assessment....."
And "lack of any real measure of success or otherwise of the operation makes proportionality in its widest sense difficult to justify to the public"

Current reading.
Very well written account by a woman who fought back.
Recommended reading for anyone involved in activism or wants to know how the state machine works to protect the interests of capitalism.
