The Eddie Mair Interview - Life as an Undercover Cop

Neil Woods has strong views on how drugs like heroin, cocaine and ecstasy are treated by the law. He speaks as someone who for 14 years worked as an undercover police officer, bringing drugs lords to justice. He put himself in danger repeatedly, and ended up with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Now he's left the force and campaigns for a radical change in drugs laws.
He's written a book: Good Cop Bad War.
