Well, it's an offshoot of the doctor bribery case - an undercover cop was having a relationship with a nurse so she can smuggle documents from the hospital to him.

Well that sounds more like a "search and seizure" issue than anything else.  No matter what the means, police can not help themselves to private documents from a hospital.

My understanding is there are few, if any absolute bans on what undercover police can do, though there are numerous urban myths.  Everything from "touch my boob to prove you're not a cop"

Why does this never happen to me?

Because you're not trying to pick up low-track prostitutes on a regular basis? :unsure:
