PC showed footage of fatal crash
of unpaid work and pay £1,000 costs and a victim surcharge to be paid in six months.
Speaking after the case, Deputy Chief Constable Nick Baker said: “When we discovered PC Parry’s actions, our first priority was to speak to the family and ensure they had the support they needed.
“This sort of disrespectful and illegal behaviour is not tolerated at Staffordshire Police and officers worked swiftly to investigate.
“Officers are reminded regularly of their responsibilities to the victim and their family and the misuse of computers laws they agree to uphold.
“It is always disappointing that one officer chooses to act in a way that damages the reputation of all our honest and hard-working officers across the county.”
A public misconduct hearing to decide on whether Parry should be dismissed from Staffordshire Police will take place in due course.
Chief Inspector Mark Thorley, commander of the Staffordshire Moorlands Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “I am greatly saddened by the actions of this officer who does not represent the typically professional and compassionate manner in which we go about our work, often under difficult circumstances. I’m also very proud of those who spoke out and made me aware.”
Chairman of the Staffordshire Police Federation Keith Jervis said police officers had to deal with ‘sensitive and restricted’ information every day.
He added: “Officers can not keep or have such information upon their own devices or mobile phones, in case it accidentally or otherwise gets into the public domain.
“This in turn could cause untold heartache to a family who have lost a loved one in tragic circumstances if information or sensitive video or photographic evidence is not looked after properly.”
An inquest into the death of Mr Oarton, who was 56-years-old and from Astbury Lane Ends in Congleton, took place earlier this year.
It ruled he died as a result of a road collision.
