Some links from recent UK cases to get you started:

Steven Lawrence was a black teenager murdered in a racially motived attack in 1993. The racist police force bungled the investigation. This was a big scandal and there was eventually a public inquiry. Recently it has emerged that the police used undercover police officers to infiltrate and undermine the campaign by the family to get justice and expose the racism in the police force. The police neglected to mention this during the public enquiry.

Over the course of several decades dozens of under cover police officers stole the identities of dead children and infiltrated environmental protest groups and were encouraged to enter into sexual relationships with women in the groups they were targeting. In some cases even fathering children with the women they were deceiving. All while still being married in their real lives, which they returned to once the assignments ended.
