Why police lost a strip search lawsuit

This week, a woman was awarded $93,000 by a NSW court over an unlawful police strip search at a 2018 music festival. Strip searches are supposed to be conducted under exceptional circumstances only, but recent figures suggest they’re being conducted more frequently. Over the past decade, the number of young people alleging they were searched unlawfully, often in humiliating and invasive circumstances, has remained high. In today’s podcast we’re going to talk you through the landmark class action against NSW Police, and what it means for the future of strip searches at music festivals.
