The call to end police strip searches

<p>No illegal substances were discovered in more than 86% of strip searches conducted by NSW Police over the last decade. That&rsquo;s according to a new report by the Redfern Legal Centre, which analysed data from thousands of searches between 2014 and 2023.</p> <p>It comes amid an ongoing legal battle in the state, where a class action alleging unlawful strip searches by NSW Police is continuing in the Supreme Court.</p> <p>Today, we&rsquo;ll take a closer look at this new data, the legal requirements around strip searchers and the ongoing legal challenge.</p> <p><strong>Hosts: </strong>Emma Gillespie and Sam Koslowski<br /><strong>Producer:&nbsp;</strong>Orla&nbsp;Maher</p> <p>Want to support The Daily Aus?
