UK allows undercover police to have sex with suspects

[Folk hero]

LONDON: British undercover police officers can start sexual relationships with suspected criminals if it means they are more plausible , a minister said on Wednesday. Home office minister Nick Herbert said that under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 officers were permitted to have sex as part of their job.

There had been confusion about whether undercover police were allowed to go that far following the collapse of a case against environmental activists in Nottinghamshire. It emerged that the group was infiltrated by an officer called Mark Kennedy, who had been in sexual relationships with two women in the campaign, The Telegraph reported. Kennedy spent seven years posing as long-haired dropout climber Mark 'Flash' Stone to infiltrate activists and admitted having sex with women during the operation.

Speaking in a debate in Westminster Hall, Herbert said it was important police were allowed to have sex with activists because otherwise it could be used as a way of outing potential undercover officers.

"But this would depend on the circumstances of each individual case and consideration should always be given to seeking legal advice."

All is fair in love and war.

Not having sex could also get one arrested for impeding a police officer in discharging of her or his duties!

How will the policy affect presenting evidence in court?

They might allow sex with a suspect but with a suspect turns criminal they dont allow it.

This must be of some relief for the James Bond kind for sex with no strings attached.

Any advantage in that regard must be negated by public health consequences. How much more absurd can the idea be?

How many times does it happen that an activist will say to an undercover agent, "F**k me or I'll know you're a cop"?

In western countries casual sex is no big deal as it is out here.

It is merely a stress buster.

The Police work has a lot of stress.

It really isn't that weird when all they are really doing is having sex with someone they met while on the job. I do that all the time.

I know

Anyway, it is not some thing which can be forced. The law is now that they can have consensual sex without any backlash.
