San Francisco police and FBI regularly use undercover officers and confidential informants on a massive scale.
The claim about the San Francisco police and FBI using undercover officers and informants on a massive scale lacks specific support from the latest context. While both agencies use undercover operations to tackle crimes, there is no direct evidence indicating the scale described. Legislation recently passed in California mandates transparency by prohibiting officers from covering their faces during operations, suggesting a push towards less secrecy in such practices.

San Francisco police and FBI regularly use undercover officers and confidential informants on a massive scale.
Though undercover and informant operations are part of standard practices to combat crime, no current data confirms that these are done on a massive scale as the claim suggests. The presence of recent legislation indicates ongoing public and governmental scrutiny of undercover methods.
