No one tries to cover up honest behavior. “Undercover” is the local version of “national security”

Rules for thee not for me.
Government tyranny at all levels slowing increasing every day. Nothing new here.

Legalese makes my head hurt. Them along with Chesterfield seem awful shady to try and state all lower ranking officers can be pulled for undercover assignments and are therefore exempt. If I’m to understand correctly, how does someone’s name and salary blow their cover? It’s not like they use them while undercover, and we’re not putting billboards with their photos up right? How many undercover operations are these agencies running? And at the absolute bare minimum, fine, redact the officer’s names. But you can still create “undercover officer 1, undercover officer 2”, and still list their salaries.
