Mackey also repeated the party line now Minister of Police Nick Herbert, suggesting that infiltrators can have sex with an activist, and a total ban would give people who were infiltrating to check if they worked for the police.

Two other things -. He said he is "waiting" undercover police officers now will not engage in long-lasting relationships
said long-term relationships in the past he has called "well documented" could not happen now, if the pilot was doing his job properly.
