More than 5,500 people get NSW police record after strip searches which found nothing illegal

Sam Lee, a solicitor at the RLC currently involved in a mooted class action lawsuit against police over the use of strip searches, said data obtained by the legal centre showed that thousands of people were being “left with a permanent police record for no reason”. “The majority of police strip searches find nothing. We now know that more than half the people needlessly subjected to this traumatic procedure are left with a permanent police record for no reason,” she said. “Once a person’s identity has been logged in the police system, it is there for life. “The fact that this is frequently occurring in cases where no crime has been committed is not only unjust, it is a complete misuse of power. This can have a tremendously negative impact on a person’s life, especially if that person happens to be Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander.”
