NBA Finals: Police officer caught ogling young woman

An American police officer has been embarrassingly caught on camera ogling a young woman in the aftermath of the opening game of the NBA Finals.

The celebrations for Golden State Warrior's 104-89 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers had barely begun at Oracle Arena when the male officer's "lowlight" was beamed across the world.

ESPN analyst Michael Wilbon, flanked by the officer, was conducting his post-match review when a young woman wearing a Warriors' 'Strength In Numbers' shirt appeared in the background.

The unidentified woman then pushed between Wilbon and the officer before making her way past the camera.

But the small contact was all that was necessary to catch the officer's wandering eye which quickly slid to the lower regions of her back.

Perhaps stung by the realisation he'd been caught in the act, the officer broke away from the young woman with a guilty look across his face.

But it was all too late – the tale of the tape never lies.
