A nude sunbather is suing police for £200,000 ($357,000) after an officer was jailed for using a force helicopter to film her in her garden.
Tracy Dixon has issued a writ claiming police invaded her privacy and caused her distress by refusing to reveal full details of how often she had been spied on, the Daily Mail reported.
The action comes after former constable Adrian Pogmore, 53, was jailed for a year in 2017.

He admitted four charges of misconduct in public office by using the South Yorkshire Police helicopter for "sexual spying" with a high-powered camera capable of reading a number plate from two miles away. Pogmore, who was described as "sex obsessed" and was a member of a swingers' club, also filmed Dixon's three daughters, who were aged 18, 15 and eight at the time.
