Ever wondered about the harrowing experiences behind the badge of an undercover cop? Today, I peel back the layers of my past life as "Michael Bates" to share with you the gut-wrenching moments from my first sting operation. My tale is one of a tightrope walk through deceit and danger, where a single slip of the tongue could be the difference between life and death. We navigate the murky waters of extracting confessions from hardened criminals and the psychological chess game it entails. My adversary, a double murderer, became an unwitting participant in a dance of identities, where my real first name became the pivot point for an encounter that could have spiralled out of control.
 
 In the courtroom, the stakes are just as high but played out in a different arena. I invite you to walk with me through the labyrinth of legal proceedings, where the truth I fought to uncover in the shadows now stands to be dissected beneath the harsh lights of the courtroom. Hear first-hand the turmoil of a life split between the witness stand and personal commitments, the battle of wits against defence lawyers, and the unexpected moments of levity that bind us all in our common humanity. And for those of you who've lived undercover, whether during the global pandemic or in the throes of crime, I'm looking to amplify your voice. Your stories of bravery and resilience are the ones I want to bring to light.
