A woman just won a ruling that British police violated her human rights by allowing a cop to engage in an ongoing sexual relationship with her while working undercover in her activist community. theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/s…
The tribunal found that the officer in question pursued sexual relationships with a long list of women while spying on their activist circles, and that if the Metropolitan Police wasn't aware of it, it was only because they chose not to be.
The ruling came down on the same day that an officer in the same police department was sentenced to life in prison for using his authority and badge to abduct, rape, and murder a woman he took from a London street this spring. washingtonpost.com/world/europe/c…
In the murder case, the Metropolitan Police have been accused of failing to properly pursue allegations of indecent exposure against the officer. That investigation is ongoing.
"If you're worried that a rogue cop might assault you without justification, do a thing that non-rogue cops use as justification for assaulting people."
