A former police clerk is accused of filming nearly 70 of his male colleagues using the restroom without their knowledge in a second-floor bathroom inside the headquarters of the Long Beach Police Department.

The 28-year-old ex-employee — identified as Sergio Nieto — was in possession of about 115 tapes in all, and has been charged with 115 misdemeanor counts of invasion of privacy. The formal complaint lists 69 victims.

The videos show the men dressing and using the facilities. Officials say Nieto filmed the men using a cellphone over a three-month period while he was in the bathroom with them. Some of Nieto’s victims include the department’s top brass.

Legal analyst Alexandra Kazarian told Wait the case could come with stiff penalties.

2. Well, that's pretty weird, right there.

Pretty risky, too, I'd think. Exposing the shortcomings of armed policemen probably wouldn't be taken lightly.
