The three officers were off-duty at the time of the alleged incident Two women have been arrested after naked police officers were allegedly filmed through the window of a third floor flat while they played ‘strip poker’.
Police Scotland have confirmed that the duo have since been released pending further enquiries to trace those responsible for taking the secret footage.
The clip, which was sent to the Daily Record, went viral after it was uploaded online last month sparking a police investigation.
We previously told how the officers involved, who were off-duty, had been reported to Procurator Fiscal over the alleged public indecency which reportedly took place in Campbeltown, Argyll, last month.
They could now face a criminal trial with their jobs at risk after the unusual move which has been blasted by police and legal sources.
One said: “This decision really does beggar belief.
“Consenting adults in a private home, behind closed doors, at night, three floors up, all being willing participants in what was happening.
“Whoever filmed it could only see it because they were on the same floor and had a vantage point to one window.
“It was very stupid of the officers involved not to have drawn the curtains or pulled the blinds but it was at night and they were three floors up.”They didn’t and couldn’t consent to being filmed. It being shared all over is one thing. Getting pulled by your employers and grilled over it is another again.”But to then prosecute them over it is just an unnecessary slap in the face.”Secretly filming and distributing videos of people in intimate situations without their consent are criminal offences in Scotland.A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “Two women were arrested and have been released. “Enquiries are ongoing.”The force previously confirmed that three people, aged 43, 23 and 23, were subject to a report to the Procurator Fiscal for an alleged public indecency offence.
