The officer is expected to be charged with a breach of the Victoria Police Act relating to the unauthorised disclosure of information.

Deputy Commissioner Shane Patton called the incident an "appalling" privacy breach which constituted "unacceptable conduct"."We've breached their privacy and I do apologise on behalf of Victoria Police," he said.
Our police force has descended into the gutter. Time recruitment was revised. 1. Minimum entry qualification a law degree 2. Return to a well groomed uniform. 3. Armaments hidden from site. No revolvers under sergeant level. 4. The right to show common sense and lateral thinking.
A real cheap shot by this prick. Obviously not a smart cop.
Fire them.
Oh by the way How is the victim that he was stalking Or don't we report on this
Who cares. This guy a stalker
What do you expect from nazi police....would've wanted to make some quick extra money.
Front page of the West Australian too! Appalling trashy paper!
A disgusting and despicable act by the Vic. police and that of the media ( news corp) What is it with the human race nowadays that they have to splash someone's misery on social media and the police to make a mockery of this man's well being. Appalling
Yes, he deserves privacy. On another matter, is his/her stalking victim ok? Remember that?
How dumb can you get.

Police officer suspended over ex-AFL coach photo leakDeputy Commissioner Shane Patton has slammed the actions of a senior constable as "appalling" after photos of ex-AFL coach Dean Laidley were leaked. If society was more accepting of gender expression the story would be the stalking charge, not the clothes and wig worn whilst doing it. Why would you include a photo of the Deputy Commissioner when your tweet only refers to the officer who spread the photos? This officer in the photo is not suspended though your whole tweet & image implies he is. Do you “journalists” / “social media producers” think? Suspended with pay
