Why police lost a strip search lawsuit

<p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s podcast we&rsquo;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.</p> <p>Hosts: Elliot Lawry and Emma Gillespie<br />Producer:&nbsp;Orla&nbsp;Maher</p> <p>Want to support The Daily Aus?
