FORT MYERS, Fla. -- We want to show you some new video from a former Fort Myers Police informant's body cam.

That informant is at the center of a civil rights suit against the city and members of the department and the State Attorney's Office.

This is a story we've been following for months.

The woman is accused of performing a sex act on a suspect during a drug operation. The suit claims police violated two peoples' civil rights by using that informant and not telling their attorneys about the informant's past actions.

This clip shows the moments leading up to the informant going into the home where that sex act allegedly happened. It goes to black once she's inside.

The video picks back up as she's leaving. You can hear the door shut, just before she tells officers "you're not going to like this video."

The video ends not long after that moment.
