Informers and infiltrators provoked, solicited and induced members of lawful political and social groups to engage in unlawful activities. In the instance of infiltrating police officers, it is alleged that in addition to urging members to participate in unlawful activity, they provided funds and equipment to further that purpose. Specific instances of such conduct are cited, including the alleged inducement of members of named organizations, to which some plaintiffs belong, to participate in armed robbery, with resulting arrests, indictments and trials upon the charges, ending in acquittals, and upon another occasion to plan the bombing of a government facility ( Handschu v. Special Services Division, US District Court for SDNY, 24 October 1972).
