YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Warning: This video includes graphic descriptions of strip searches and references to domestic violence.

Maria's treatment by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) was so shocking the chief constable described it as "undefendable".

Yet a year after a high-profile inquiry found she had been "unlawfully" arrested and strip-searched, Maria now has a criminal conviction for the crime the inquiry said she should never have been arrested for.

The Baird Inquiry, published a year ago, found that GMP made numerous unlawful arrests and unlawful strip searches on vulnerable women.
