About this analysis

The Evening Standard reports that two PSNI officers have been dismissed, and that a Police Ombudsman investigation found they filmed and photographed vulnerable people while on duty and shared the material with derogatory and sexualised comments. It names each officer's concrete acts, attributes the findings to the ombudsman, and gives two of the women filmed their own reactions. It also reports the ombudsman's finding that 74 officers accessed body-worn video footage without legitimate reason.

What it gets right

  • “the woman said she had been unaware that she was being filmed and felt “disgusted””

    The Standard gives the woman who was filmed her own voice and reaction. She is not left only as the subject of officials' statements.

  • “An ombudsman investigation found that Police Officer A recorded videos and took pictures of people who had requested police assistance”

    The Standard names the officer responsible and the concrete act, and ties the finding to the body that established it.

  • “established that 74 police officers, including Officer A, had accessed police body-worn video footage without any legitimate reason for doing so”

    The Standard reports the wider misconduct the inquiry found. The reader does not come away thinking the problem was limited to two individuals.
