An ex-Met officer who failed to properly investigate evil Wayne Couzens shamelessly moaned about press photos of her taken outside a disciplinary hearing.
Samantha Lee, who quit the force after bosses suspended her over an OnlyFans account - in which she goes by 'Officer Naughty' - was found to have committed gross misconduct in her investigation over flashing incidents.
Specifically, she was found to have lied about CCTV availability which could have nailed Couzens.
Amid the hearing, she took to TikTok last week after photos taken by Press Association showed her outside Palestra House in Southwark, south London.
She said: "Right, so I'm coming on here to address this. I haven't got long.

"I'm sorry, what the f*** have they done to this picture? They've doctored it, that doesn't look like me. Go on any of my things on my Instagram, look at my unfiltered things."
In the video, in which Lee is seen as an insert below the press snap, she moves her head sideways to show her profile and jawline.
Her post on channel @officer_naughtyx has garnered 12 likes but no responses from her 3,418 followers.
She captioned the clip: "Actually fuming...I don't even look like that. BBC we will be having words."

Fellow former Met officer Couzens exposed himself at a McDonald's in Swanley, Kent, weeks before going on to abduct, rape and murder Sarah Everard in March 2021.
Lee was assigned to the case and was found to have lied about her actions when questioned, claiming that she believed the CCTV at the restaurant was deleted automatically.
The Met's case came just three days before the kidnap, rape and murder of Miss Everard in London.

He added that she will be barred from serving in the police again.
Lee had told the hearing nothing she could have done “would have changed the tragic outcome”.
Couzens exposed himself on February 14 and 27 2021.
On both occasions, Couzens was seen by female members of staff to have his pants open and his penis on display.

Throughout her evidence Lee maintained Mr Taylor told her he did not have any CCTV of the incident.
She told the tribunal that Mr Taylor explained that a photo is taken of the driver when a car pulls up to the order box of the drive-thru, but it is deleted after the driver collects their order.

Last week, Lee said: “I accept now that there was CCTV and that I should have asked more questions about it.”
However, she told the tribunal there was nothing she could have done that would have stopped Couzens from kidnapping and murdering Ms Everard.
“I accept that I could have done more around CCTV and evidence gathering, that was errors on my part and I accept that,” she said.

In March this year, Couzens was sentenced to 19 months in prison after admitting three counts of indecent exposure.
He was already serving life behind bars for the kidnap, rape and murder of Miss Everard on March 3, 2021.
The third indecent exposure incident related to when Couzens exposed himself to a female cyclist on a Kent country lane in November 2020.
