It was a typical eco-activist’s romantic break. The wine was chilling in the cooler on the plastic camp table alongside the white Transit van in which the couple had spent the hours locked in embrace.
But for undercover police officer Mark Kennedy, it was a day that was to blow his cover.
Kennedy had been forced to hand back all identification in his fake name when his police handlers abruptly told him his work infiltrating the eco-activist world was over nine months earlier. But he had renewed contact with his girlfriend from those undercover days, and now, on a trip around Europe, she had unearthed his deepest secret.

Theres always some body willing to stir it up and ruin the protests. Which could be police officers. Now all protest groups ect will be vetting their members.

He stopped being an operative nine months before this incident.

He was just after the sex. Being horny seemed to be his only crime.

Mark Kennedy, a Metropolitan police officer who infiltrated green and anarchist groups under the alias Mark Stone and fled to America after his cover was blown, said he fears for his safety following threats from activists. The 41-year-old said he believed that his former police superiors were looking for him too.
"I can't sleep. I have lost weight and am constantly on edge. I barricade the door with chairs at night. I am in genuine fear for my life," said Kennedy, who sold his story to the Mail on Sunday. "People like to think of things in terms of black and white. But the world of undercover policing is grey and murky. There is some bad stuff going on. Really bad stuff."
However, Kennedy said that throughout his time spent undercover he was in constant touch with police handlers and never tried to push fellow protesters into taking action: "I had a cover officer whom I spoke to numerous times a day. He was the first person I spoke to in the morning and the last person I spoke to at night. I didn't sneeze without a superior officer knowing about it. My BlackBerry had a tracking device. My cover officer joked that he knew when I went to the loo."
