新南威尔士州法院将决定警方是否非法搜查了数千名2018年节庆参加者的脱衣搜身。 A NSW court will decide if thousands of 2018 festival attendees were unlawfully strip-searched by police.

新南威尔士州最高法院将裁定警方在2018年草原节对数千名参加者进行的脱衣搜查是否合法。 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. 集体诉讼诉讼指控官员缺乏合理的理由和同意,援引了一名主要原告,尽管未发现毒品,但他在药物检测犬发出警报后,在一个临时、非私密的隔间中被脱衣搜查。 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. 4月,新南威尔士州政府承认,对主要原告的搜查是非法的,但并未将该案的承认范围扩大到3 000多名其他原告。 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. Dina Yehia法官将确定搜查是否构成攻击、殴打或虚假监禁。 Justice Dina Yehia will determine whether the searches constituted assault, battery, or false imprisonment. 有利的裁决可能导致对精神痛苦和丧失尊严进行赔偿,从而有可能改变警方在公共活动中的做法。 A favorable ruling could lead to compensation for emotional distress and loss of dignity, potentially reshaping police practices at public events.
