Women tricked by British undercover seducer-cops who pretended to love them have written a book about their experience, and the cops' tactics of lies.

The most shocking thing I learned from the article was not _how_ the cops went about this, but what purposes they did it for — such as, helping McDonalds sue environmentalists for leaflets that criticized it.
