Any govt affiliated entity which engages in secret undercover operations
can properly be called 'secret police'.

Yeah sure, a likely story. It's the standard excuse given by sycophants
for all oppressive regimes -- we've got to place everyone under
surveillance
so we can catch kiddie porners, terrorists etc. Of course what
you really want to do is identify everyone who doesn't love Big
Brother.

I might ask, if the URL of the kiddie porn site is already known, why
don't the German authorities take steps to shut it down? I suspect
I know the answer. It's a sting operation of the type that the U.S.
FBI runs all the time. The site is actually run by a secret police
outfit - German, American or other - and it's being used to troll for
suckers. They are trying to entrap poor unsuspecting saps by
inviting them to connect to a "really hot site", and when they do,
BAM they're busted.

And you think that it is worth compromising JAP's security in order
to cooperate with that kind of crap?
