There's clearly a National Security need now and then for officers to adopt a false identity and go under cover. I see no problem with that either. If it's official though there ought to be better ways than adopting the identity of a dead child; the kid's parents might reasonably regard that as offensive.
It also seems that undercover was being used in various legitimate protest groups and that the officers were going way beyond the call of duty with young women in those groups.
The report of the ongoing inquiry into all of that will be interesting reading.
