After two clear verdicts: The police will tighten up

The police have repeatedly violated human rights by carrying out heavy-handed strip searches of people who had been taken to the station without specific reasons.

After two cases where the police have been convicted of conducting strip searches of arrested persons without specific reason, stricter measures must be taken.

The National Police has begun preparing new guidelines to ensure that police officers only conduct strip searches of detainees if there are specific reasons for doing so.
