WILTON MANORS, Fla. -- A man is suing the city of Wilton Manors because he said police were watching him when he used the bathroom.

The lawsuit claims restroom cameras at Colohatchee Park violated the unidentified man's rights.

Police had arrested the man and charged him with public exposure based on evidence collected from the camera, but later dropped the charge.

The man's lawyer, Gary Kollin, said he thought the city installed the cameras because they were concerned about sexual contact in the park.

"They invaded his privacy and they invaded the privacy of other people who were unaware of it by placing a video camera into a public restroom," Kollin said.

A sign outside of the park said authorities use surveillance cameras.

The city and the Police Department said they could not comment on a pending lawsuit.
