Here are 5 things people THINK give police the right to strip search them (but they're actually not good enough reasons!) 😎 MYTH #1: They don't like the look of you or you have that "dealer" vibe because you wear spe*d dealer sunnies and a bum bag. FACT: This is never enough. Courts have consistently found reasonable suspicion needs an actual factual basis, not a vibe. 🐕‍🦺 MYTH #2: A sniffer dog reacts to you. FACT: A 2025 Supreme Court ruling found this is NOT enough on its own. Also - sniffer dogs have been found WRONG three out of four times. 💊 MYTH #3: Police suspect you're carrying drugs. FACT: suspicion of possession alone isn't enough. The situation must also be considered SERIOUS and URGENT enough that the search can't wait. 🥳 MYTH #4: Festivals are known for drug use, so if you're attending, you've likely got dr*gs on you and surely that's reason enough! FACT: The court totally threw this argument out. A location's reputation isn't grounds to search a particular person - the law requires significant suspicion about that particular person, at that exact moment. 👮🏻‍♂️ MYTH #5: Surely the police wouldn't do it if it wasn't legal?! FACT: Well, it's not, and they did. The 2025 Supreme Court judgment found THOUSANDS of strip searches in NSW were UNLAWFUL, and the NSW Police were not properly trained on when you CAN and CAN'T strip search someone. This isn't a problem with the law. Senior NSW Police leadership know the rules and left them out of the training manual, and despite years of warnings, they continue to send frontline officers out to conduct illegal strip searches. 🌳 We want a NSW where everyone feels safe - at a festival, at a train station, or in a park - and where officers are properly trained on when they can and can't strip search. ✅ Thousands of people have already signed. When enough of us speak up, the Commissioner will be forced to act. ❗Add your name and tell him: make sure frontline officers are properly trained and follow the rules that are there for a reason! www.unharm.org/strip-searches
