Former lovers of undercover officers sue police over deceit

[CountDeMoney]

Then it's even more of a cause for a legal action then. I don't know about the US, but at least in Europe when a cop on duty causes you harm while acting outside of rules of conduct, you can sue the state.

Yeah, sorry, don't think heartbreak qualifies.

Marty would sue for the legal enforcement of mandatory Birkenstocks.

[mongers]

Money you should get into this line of work, it would suit you and you're shrewd enough to play both ends against the middle.

[Sheilbh]

Yeah, sorry, don't think heartbreak qualifies.

Emotional trauma in general shouldn't qualify?

[Eddie Teach]

Only if it's of a sort that would be illegal if a normal schmo did it.

[Admiral Yi]

Yeah, sorry, don't think heartbreak qualifies.

I don't see how heartbreak even comes into the equation.  One of the coppers shagged 3 granola chicks in 7 years.  There's no mention of false marriage promises, or false true love promises, or anything that we usually associate with heartbreak.

The basis of the plaintiffs' case seems to be that for them shagging a copper, or shagging anyone who's not sincerely comitted to their crunchy cause is so abhorent that when they found out the truth it caused them deep emotional distress.

Kill all lawyers.  Kill every lawyer you see.  That's the only way to create a truly equitable society.

It's not a contract claim, it's a tort claim.  The existence of a promise is not an element of fraud.

I offer a compromise: kill half of all lawyers admitted to practice you see.

Negative.  That just means that different bloodsuckers will be trying to destroy society.  They must all be purged for mankind to heal.

"It" in this context is heartbreak.

From what I've seen of granola chicks the copper might need to get hazard pay.

[Barrister]

It does if you're a worthless, anarchist piece of shit like Martinus.

You say that now, but remember I am part of the thin black line that separates us from anarchy and mayhem.

And I have to say that deep undercover coppers are pretty much mythical in my practice.  I've seen a handful of files where undercover stings are utilized, but never any that went beyond a few days.  I actually have no idea what the rules are, but I'm 99% sure that they aren't supposed to have sexual relations while undercover.

The article says it's not allowed. They say it's 'never acceptable' and 'grossly unprofessional'.  He was more than undercover, according to the environmentalists he was with, apparently he was an agent provocateur - again, I believe, not allowed - and he's said everything he did his bosses knew about.

Yes, I believe this is an operation fiction, they're not intelligence gathering, but are mainly agent provocateurs.

I wouldn't be entirely suprised if in a couple of years we find there weren't one or two of them involved in that student demonstration in London which trash the Tory election HQ.

Wrongful seduction, waste of years' worth of affection and the fact it's been undertaken by their own government = more than heartbreak.
