"Misconduct in public office"

Common law offence, permitting a maximum sentence of life.

.....Adrian Pogmore, 50, was described by fellow officers as the "team deviant" and a "sex-obsessed air observer" after filming a man and a woman having sex on the patio of their home.....

.....Two other police officers and two helicopter pilots who were in the helicopter when the sex video was filmed were tried and cleared of misconduct on Friday.

They told Sheffield Crown Court they had no idea what Pogmore was doing with the aircraft's camera.

However, South Yorkshire Police said it intends to continue with internal misconduct proceedings against the officers.....

I guess the article skirts around the common law nature of the charge "Misconduct in public office" and use of 'tried' instead of a jury made decision as people might start getting ideas. They have been trying to get rid of this as a common law offence and, replace it with a statute for some time now,
