英国内政部正寻求改变一项历时超十年的卧底警察公众调查的形式，此举遭到数千名受害者的强烈反对。1这项调查已耗资1.44亿英镑，现已运行远超原定的三年期限。1内政部长沙巴娜·马哈茂德表达了对调查时间长度和成本的关切。1公众咨询已于周日截止，超过2000人反对内政部的计划。1
该调查聚焦于特别示威小队和国家公共秩序情报部队等警察部门的监视活动。1特别示威小队在1968年至2008年间对政治团体实施渗透，国家公共秩序情报部队则在1999年至2011年间进行类似行动。1这些行为包括对数万名政治活动人士的长期监视和不当行为，其中卧底警察马克·肯尼迪曾在环保和左翼团体中卧底六年，欺骗众多女性进入亲密关系。1调查还涉及警察窃取死者身份等行为。1
受害者认为内政部的咨询意图是缩小调查范围。1活动人士凯特·威尔逊表示，改革的"实际效果是隐瞒，我们可能永远无法了解卧底警务中不当行为的全面程度"。1调查预计还需运行两年才能完成。1内政部发言人则辩称，调查已超十年仍未提供司法救济，耗费纳税人大量资金。1
The UK Home Office is seeking to alter the format of a public inquiry into undercover policing operations, prompting fierce opposition from those affected by the controversial surveillance practices. The inquiry, established in 2015, was originally intended to conclude within three years but has now run for over a decade and cost £144 million.1 It is examining decades of misconduct by police units including the Special Demonstration Squad and the National Public Order Intelligence Unit, which conducted extensive surveillance and carried out harmful operations against tens of thousands of political activists. These operations included deceiving women into intimate relationships and stealing the identities of deceased persons.1
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has raised concerns about the inquiry's lengthy duration and financial burden.1 The Home Office's public consultation closed on Sunday, having prompted over 2,000 objections to the proposed changes.1 Victims argue that narrowing the inquiry's scope will prevent the full truth about police misconduct from emerging. Kate Wilson, one of those affected, stated: "The practical effect is a cover-up, and we may never understand the full extent of wrongdoing in undercover policing."1 The Home Office spokesperson countered that despite more than a decade of proceedings, the inquiry has yet to deliver justice for victims while consuming substantial taxpayer resources.1
The Special Demonstration Squad infiltrated political groups between 1968 and 2008, while the National Public Order Intelligence Unit conducted similar operations from 1999 to 2011.1 Undercover officer Mark Kennedy spent six years embedded in environmental and left-wing organizations, where he deceived numerous women into relationships.1 The inquiry is projected to continue for approximately two more years.1
