新南威尔士州通过了“持杖”刀具法，允许警方在最近发生刺伤事件后，在指定地点无需搜查令即可使用金属探测器。 NSW passes 'wanding' knife laws, enabling police to use metal detectors without warrants in specified locations after recent stabbings.

新南威尔士州通过了新的“持杖”刀具法：警方现在有权在特定地点（例如购物区、体育场馆和公共交通站）无需搜查令使用手持金属探测器。 NSW passes new 'wanding' knife laws: Police now have powers to use hand-held metal detectors without warrants in specific locations, such as shopping precincts, sporting venues, and public transport stations. 此前，悉尼发生了一系列引人关注的持刀伤人事件。 This follows a spate of high-profile stabbings in Sydney. 如果过去 12 个月内发生了涉及武器、刀具或暴力的相关犯罪行为，高级警官可以宣布这些区域并允许警官对人员进行 12 小时的扫描。 Senior police can declare these areas and allow officers to scan people for 12 hours if a relevant offense involving weapons, knives, or violence has occurred in the past 12 months. 批评人士认为，这些法律可能会对弱势群体产生不成比例的影响，并使他们遭受监视或骚扰。 Critics argue that these laws may disproportionately impact vulnerable communities and subject them to surveillance or harassment.
