A former Missouri police officer and a former Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper have both been indicted on civil rights violations and accused of taking nude images from women’s phones during traffic stops.

Officials allege that the former Florissant officer looked through the victim's phones under the guise of confirming insurance or identification.

They acted separately more than 100 miles apart but were indicted within the same week for identical allegations.
