Last week I was stopped driving home from work. I was strip searched twice. The first time on the side of a very busy road with people stopping for the free entertainment, including the full naked "bend over, pull cheeks and vagina apart and cough". Luckily by a very nice lady officer, that second one they did in privat.
My last drug conviction 1999, a very minor record. I wasn't doing anything illegal or remotely suspicious looking. They searched my car, broke a few things, got a drug dog in, etc. No explanation and no charges. At what point does this sort of treatment become harassment?
I was polite and co-operative (until the 2nd search anyway,then i lost it a bit!). I have no bikie or other so-called criminal associations. How can police do this? And WHY?
A friend of mine had a similar experience recently. He's also mid-40.s, no recent charges, etc. Anyone else having similar probs in Brisbane?
