A FORMER model whose personal details were accessed by hundreds of snooping Queensland police officers is outraged that not one will face criminal charges.

Model turned justice crusader Renee Eaves last year discovered 258 individual officers had accessed her private QPRIME file more than 1400 times.

Ms Eaves, who has been a vocal and high-profile critic of the Queensland Police Service for many years, said she felt violated and was forced to move cities.

However, after an 18-month internal affairs investigation by the Ethical Standards Command (ESC), not one officer will face criminal charges and only two were offered “managerial guidance”.

At the same time, officers from around the state are being prosecuted in growing numbers for computer hacking and looking up everyone from wives, girlfriends and family members to co-workers and sports stars on the official QPRIME database.

It lists private details including addresses and contact information for millions of Queenslanders.

Ms Eaves was given a personal assurance by officers at the ESC that those responsible for any unauthorised access of her files would be liable to prosecution for serious criminal offences.

Ms Eaves, who is now taking civil action against five of the officers accused of snooping through her personal details, said the decision by the ESC not to lay criminal charges against a single officer was disgusting.

“I’m ropeable,” she said. “After I was told that anyone who did this would face criminal prosecution, it’s a real kick in the guts, especially when you consider that many of the entries on my file coincide with times when I have been in the media supporting people against exactly this kind of behaviour.”

In a statement, a QPS spokesman said all staff were last year given explicit instructions that breaching privacy guidelines would be considered misconduct and could result in criminal charges.

Ms Eaves’ search of QPRIME access was returned in April last year.
