Yes.
Caveat on theft...actual stealing, not campus pranks involving temp. relocation of property to amusing locations.

What happens to the "undercover" cadet who gets outed? What is his/her life going to be like for the rest of their time at the Academy and then onto active duty? If I were the parent of a cadet and found out OSI put wires on them and sent them into dangerous/harmful situations I would be incensed. They are supposed to be teaching cadets to be leaders and honorable. This is not the way.
Yes. If you want to be a cop, there are other schools for that. I would argue that in the academy environment undercover ops would be not in keeping with the faith of your fellow cadets (mids in my case). That's violating the spirit if not the letter.
