police admit error re thomson, page-24

A strip search over a legal matter?

In a public area?

Removing belts and shoe laces etc?

And he wasn't even locked up?

This is preposterous for any Australian.

Can I tell you that when I was a 20 year old and the police were on a rant,

I was removed of my belt and shoe laces, for slightly over the DUI level. I was 0.12 when 0.08 was legal.

I was sent to Pentridge Gaol.

Solicitors looking to bail me out were told police had no idea where I was for 24 hours.

The Thompson procedures are disgusting.

Fair enough for a violent criminal that may have been locked up.

This is the rubbish we have seen in the US where handcuffs are used and media called in to film.

It is a reality show, this is due procedure.

Disgusting, regardless of his guilt.
