Goodness knows how you can use a police helicopter for your own use but it is alleged a police officer decided to hover over dogging areas and film people to watch later in his own time.

Questions:
How can a great noisy helicopter hover over people without them knowing surely they must have known?
What were the other police in the helicopter doing while he was recording the images?
He used thermal imaging how on earth can you get excited about images on thermal imaging?
How has it take 5 years to find this out?

    Surely you wouldn't tell you wife lol and there is no video evidence of it that has been found.

    Be interesting to see if he gets convicted if no evidence can be found.

    Perhaps he and his ex watched the footage together, to help with their sexytime?:D

    Yep, that's why they show up so well;-) A policemans lot is not a happy one. He has to watch bad porn for a living, and in his own time too.

    No, obviously not! Either that, or his truncheon wasn't big enough.

    Police imaging systems do not require a heli to be just above the trees, they can be so far up or away from that area, that you cant see or hear them.

    Or, it could be Blue Thunder in stealth mode!!

    Lol, if he did do this then tbh I find it more amusing than anything else. It can't be for real, I can't see an officer being able to take a helicopter out and go hunting for naked people to film, it's too ridiculous. 😂

    They should disband the South Yorkshire Police.

    First it was Hillsborough and now this and many other things in between. They are all clearly corrupt, bent, incompetent, foolish, lying, no good toerag coppers.

    Surely the footage can't be that clear from up there? "Those ants on the left with their legs hanging out, have a look of Ron and Brenda!" :D

    You'd have thought it would be a doggers' dream, being filmed.

    For most people Hillsborough and the disgraceful things they did there would be enough nevermind all the rest.

    Ha Ha Ha. DS over reaction at it's best.

    Who would have thought that before the end of page one, it would be linked to Hillsborough?

    I'm sorry? Are you bringing Hillsborough down to this level or trying to raise the dogging issue to Hillsborough status? Either way, pretty offensive!!

    Clearly he's kept himself busy with his chopper.

    Sounds like a bit of a creepy abuse of power but in truth Im not all that surprised.

    Abuse of the trust his bosses had in him for sure. I can't see the doggers as victims here though. I think they'd be thrilled to know what a hit their carryings on were.

    Just a wild stab but is it more likely that the use of the helicopter and the surveillance of the doggers was all part of an official police operation and what he actually did wrong was to swipe the tapes for his "personal viewing"?
