(Reuters) - A California Highway Patrol officer copied photos of a scantily clad woman from her phone after arresting her for driving under the influence last year near San Francisco, the woman alleges in a lawsuit brought against the officer and the agency.
Natalie Sramek filed the suit in federal court in the Northern District of California on Thursday, accusing the officer and the highway patrol of conducting a warrant-less search of her phone and of denying her right to due process.
California Highway Patrol Officer Sean Harrington pulled over Sramek on suspicion of driving under the influence on Aug. 29, 2014, on a highway in San Ramon, about 20 miles (40 km) east of San Francisco, according to the lawsuit.
He took her purse and cell phone and convinced her to give him the pass code for her phone, the lawsuit said.

HOUSTON A former Cypress-Fairbanks ISD police officer was sentenced Wednesday to one year in Harris County Jail after he pleaded guilty to offering to forego a woman's arrest if she let him lick her feet and have her underwear.
Patrick Quinn, 27, was charged in October 2014 with official oppression after the victim filed a complaint. In it, she alleged that Quinn stopped her in August 2014, as she drove on Jones Road in Northwest Harris County, first alleging her insurance was expired, then saying he smelled marijuana.
He conducted a search and found a marijuana grinder, which the woman denied owning.
Quinn then asked the complainant what she would do if he was in his position. She told him she would let him go. Instead, the officer told the woman he had a foot fetish and would let her go if she let him smell her feet, the DA's office said.
