A 16-year-old girl, allegedly strip-searched illegally at Splendour in the Grass, has described the "humiliating" experience of taking her clothes off in front of a police officer after being falsely detected by a sniffer dog.
The Law Enforcement Conduct Commission on Monday heard that police asked the teenager her age and took her identification but didn't call her parents or anyone else capable of caring for her, in breach of their search powers.
In a statement read to a public hearing before the commission, the teenager said she became frightened after having her phone confiscated and being separated from her friends, recounting the moment when it dawned on her she was going to have to get completely naked.
Festival deaths: 'Don't blame NSW cops'
Police Association of NSW acting president Kevin Morton says the Coroners Court should not be the forum for public debate on pill testing at music festivals.NSW officers say it's "offensive and wrong" to suggest heavy-handed policing may have contributed to young people dying from drug overdoses at music festivals.
A full, statewide recount of the votes could happen — but the effort, being led by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, is on the rocks in Pennsylvania. Instead, they have to essentially file a lawsuit and present evidence that gives a judge reason to believe widespread voter fraud probably happened .

"I could not believe this was happening to me; I could not stop crying; I was completely humiliated," the teenager, whose identity has been suppressed, said.
She said she was told to squat and was even asked to remove her panty liner inside her underwear for inspection.
The commission heard the teenager was lining up to enter the Byron Bay music festival last year when a sniffer dog sat down next to her and a female police officer ordered her to "put your hands where I can see them and don't reach for anything".
She said she was escorted away with her hands in the air and she could hear other revellers saying out loud that police "had someone".
"I was really scared," she said.
The teenager said that, while this was happening, she was asked how old she was, to which she replied that she was 16.

The inquiry heard she was "sobbing uncontrollably" when she spoke to a solicitor at the festival after the incident, which is now the subject of the hearing in which strip-searching practices are set to be scrutinised more generally.
"I was absolutely shocked that the police would do this to me," the teenager said.
Chief commissioner Michael Adams, QC, who is presiding over the four-day hearing, described the allegations as "quite shocking".
Police are only permitted to carry out field strip-searches if the urgency and seriousness of the situation requires it and, in the case of minors, if a parent or guardian is present, unless an immediate search is necessary to protect the person or prevent the destruction of evidence. Children under 10 cannot be strip-searched.
Counsel assisting the commissioner, Peggy Dwyer, who read the statement on the teenager's behalf, said a strip-search was "by necessity a grave intrusion of a citizen's privacy and dignity".
Falls Festival, Splendour in the Grass may leave NSW 'nanny state'
Australia's biggest music events threaten to pull out of NSW and accuse the Berejiklian Government — which is preparing to introduce tough new festival laws — of "endless nanny state interference".Laneway Festival, Falls Festival and Splendour in the Grass are among a coalition of music festivals that say they have been left with no choice but to "consider their options" regarding relocation.
efforts could delegitimize America's democratic institutions in the eyes of the voting public. Although the Clinton campaign has agreed to assist Stein in pulling for a recount , they've made it clear that this was not their initiative and that they aren't hopeful it will work.
“ This significant increase could be attributed to a breach of the state’s electronic voter database,” Stein said in her petition regarding the rise in the number of absentee ballot filings. The fundraising site explained that Stein’s campaign “ could not guarantee” any of these states would have a recount .
"Absent any legal justification, it would constitute an assault, and I anticipate that the commission will hear that it is capable of causing great distress and lasting harm," Dr Dwyer said during her opening address.
She said a child could not waive his or her legal right to a parent, guardian or independent person.
The hearing comes just days after the leaking of Deputy State Coroner Harriet Grahame's draft recommendations into music festival deaths, which included overhauling strip-search powers following a University of NSW report that was critical of police practices.
NSW Police data obtained by the Redfern Legal Centre this year showed that almost 300 children were strip-searched in the field over a two-year period between the financial years 2016-17 and 2017-18, with the youngest person subjected to the procedure being 10.
The hearing continues.
With focus on music festival strip-searches, let's not forget this important issue .
Some people are more policed than others. The figures show Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been disproportionately subjected to invasive, harmful and possibly unlawful searches. And now thanks to the LECC we can assume that this disproportion may be much greater than we think.Samantha Lee is a lawyer and the head of police accountability at the Redfern Legal Centre.
