DA: Cop covered bodycam to snap nude prisoners on his iPhone—but other cams caught him

A Pennsylvania sheriff's deputy is facing charges after prosecutors say he covered his body camera to secretly photograph nude prisoners on his personal iPhone. According to Ars Technica, the Bucks County District Attorney's office received the complaint in late March from the deputy's own sheriff's office, which alleged that Deputy Ryan Gaffney had shared the images with several female civilian employees. One incident cited involved a man detained during a mental health crisis, undressed from the waist down as five uniformed deputies stood in the room. The deputy's covered bodycam may have hidden his view, Ars Technica reports, but other cameras on scene captured what he was doing.
