Can a police officer be a feigned accomplice only in a crime calling for specific intent?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Bohmer, 120 Cal.Rptr. 136, 46 Cal.App.3d 185 (Cal. App. 1975):

But Brocklehurst nowhere states or implies that there can be a feigned accomplice only in a crime calling for a specific intent, although it distinguished many feigned accomplice cases dealing with such crimes. People v. Spaulding, 81 Cal.App. 615, 254 P. 614, discussed in Brocklehurst, involved the question whether a peace officer was an accomplice in a violation of Penal Code section 288a, not as an active participant but as an aider and abettor.
