Crime and Policing BillContribution
History tells us why. We know from past undercover policing scandals that things can and do go wrong—authorisations overdone, lives deeply harmed and fundamental rights breached. In some cases, it is only investigative journalism that brought all these abuses to light and exposed the truth of what happened. Even then, those responsible have not faced accountability.
