Greater Manchester Police report reveals officers' demeaning strip searches, unlawful arrests and retraumatising of victims
Greater Manchester Police officers have been found to engage in unlawful arrests, demeaning strip searches, and retraumatizing victims, according to a damning report.
A woman involved in a strip search stated that she felt degraded and treated like a piece of meat by the officers.
Recommendations from the report include phasing out strip searches for "welfare reasons" within six months and implementing airport-style screening devices to eliminate degrading strip searches.
