Strip searches along Central Station

How would you feel if you were asked to be strip searched on your commute home from work? Following the NSW state election, NSW Police have now carried out two strip search operations at Central Station, one of the busiest railway platforms in Sydney.

With strip search numbers having increased by 50% of the last four years, many are concerned that police are going above and beyond their powers and placing civilians in increasingly uncomfortable situations.

Julia Andre spoke to Greens MP David Shoebridge, on the politics of strip searches in Sydney.
