In Grant County, Oregon, Haley Olson faced a shocking breach of privacy after intimate photos from her phone were allegedly shared by local law enforcement. In 2019, following an arrest for marijuana possession in Idaho, Olson consented to a search of her phone, only to find out later that private images were circulating within the sheriff’s department.
Strangers in sheriff’s uniforms approached her with comments about the photos, and a married couple employed by the department was reportedly seen looking at her images. Despite Olson’s legal troubles being resolved and no charges filed, she suspects that her phone’s data was improperly shared.
Olson has since filed a public records request to uncover how her personal information was accessed and disseminated. The situation raises serious concerns about privacy rights and the conduct of law enforcement.
