This unprecedented legal action builds on Redfern Legal Centre’s Safe and Sound campaign to improve strip search laws in NSW, and will seek compensation for people who have been unlawfully searched by NSW Police since 2014.
Have you been strip-searched by NSW Police?
You may have been subjected to a strip search even if you were not asked to remove your clothes.
We want to hear from you if:
- You were asked to take off some or all of your clothing
- You were asked to show or move your bra or underpants
- Police looked underneath your bra or underpants
- Police peered into your clothing to see your bra, underpants or parts of your body
- You were searched after a police drug dog noticed you
