No matter what anyone believes (urban legend) or has read, or what they've been told statute prohibits LE from doing (something specific they can't do because it is illegal) - they're wrong.  In fact, the Supreme Court says UC LE can do pretty much anything, legal or otherwise, in furtherance of their investigation if it furthers the investigation or protects the officer's safety - they've even murdered to protect their identity at the Federal level - and the Supreme Court also says you have no right to Miranda if your statements are made to a UC . . . 
the bottom line is that there is no "cop check" - at all.
