Undercover cops are prohibited from engaging in unlawful activities, even to maintain their cover, unless their life is in danger (often a scenario in undercover drug operations).
The 'undercover officer' riding with this gang of idiots should not have joined in, and has earned the wrath of his department.
The others (cops) riding along picked the wrong kinds of buddies to hang with - they showed no better judgment.
If a private citizen is being injured by criminal activity, I have to believe in this case they'd do something. If the driver was killed, the undercover would be just as guilty in my eyes.
