Former bikini model Renee Eaves was shocked to discover police officers had accessed her file more than 1400 times after she was found guilty of 'few traffic offences'.
Ms Evans, now a social justice advocate, lodged a Right to Information request in May to find out the number of times her personal Q PRIME file had been accessed.
She was shocked to discover that Queensland Police officers had looked at her file 1475 times, an abnormal number, she writes on her website.
In an impact statement she says that she will now lodge a formal complaint.
Former bikini model Renee Eaves' personal police file was accessed by Queensland officers 1475 times since 2006
The former bikini model has previously taken the QPS to court case for unlawful arrest in 2011 and won a significant pay-out.
She had been forcibly removed from her home while heavily pregnant and arrested for an alleged traffic incident.
Ms Eaves wanted to access her file to help her efforts supporting victims of police brutality.
'Just because I might have popped up on the news, does not give police a front row seat to my private and personal details,' she wrote in her impact statement.
The Courier Mail reports that people go through their whole lives with their file being accessed by police just a few times.
'It's abuse of public office,' Ms Eaves told the Courier Mail.
'They think that they can access my file whenever they like but they can't.'
Ms Eaves added that she was told by some of Queensland's best lawyers that her situation was nothing short of disgraceful.
'I've been told that some hardcore bikies or hardened criminals would not have had their records searched as often as I have.'
Officers accessed her information from 2006 until as recently as last month.
