flag A NSW court will decide if thousands of 2018 festival attendees were unlawfully strip-searched by police.

flag A New South Wales Supreme Court is set to rule on the legality of police strip searches conducted on thousands of attendees at the 2018 Splendour in the Grass festival. flag The class action lawsuit alleges officers lacked reasonable grounds and consent, citing a lead plaintiff who was strip-searched in a makeshift, unprivate cubicle after a drug detection dog alerted, despite no drugs being found. flag The NSW government admitted in April that the search of the lead plaintiff was unlawful, but has not extended that admission to over 3,000 others in the case. flag Justice Dina Yehia will determine whether the searches constituted assault, battery, or false imprisonment. flag A favorable ruling could lead to compensation for emotional distress and loss of dignity, potentially reshaping police practices at public events.
